The Glazers are preparing to buy into MLS side LA Galaxy with the intention of renaming the club, effectively making it the first American franchise of United since their £790million takeover 18 months ago.
And, according to the popular fanzine, Beckham is the man the Glazers want to make the bold venture work, the former England captain being offered an escape route from his Real Madrid nightmare with a lucrative playing deal at LA Galaxy. Beckham's soccer schools project - which has a base in Los Angeles - is run by the Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) in the US and they are understood to be keen to link up with the Glazers over the scheme.
Red Issue claims the Glazers believe Beckham's huge profile and global appeal would ensure the move is a success and are confident the former United midfielder would relish the chance to take his suffering career in a new direction.
Beckham is currently out of favour at Real Madrid and with his contract up at the end of the season, it is becoming increasingly likely that the 31-year-old will leave.
MLS commissioner Don Garber said: "Our fans have stated they would like to see more world-class stars in MLS, and the designated player rule allows us to sign more elite talent from throughout the world.'' In 2001, United forged an ill-fated partnership with baseball side New York Yankees.
