David Beckham is shopping around shares in Miami United FC in order to help fund the proposed Major League Soccer franchise, even if that means the former Manchester United and LA Galaxy player might not be a majority owner, according to a report in the Miami Herald.

Former England captain Beckham has spent the last six months trying to find equity partners to help cover the estimated $300 million in funds required to secure a stadium site, build out a front office and sign players to the club, according to the report.
