David Beckham watched his first Salford City match since becoming the latest former Manchester United player to invest in the non-league club, taking a 10 percent stake alongside Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers.
National League side Salford are one step away from the Football League after winning three promotions in four years since being taken over by the Class of 92 and Singapore businessman Peter Lim in 2014.
