Manchester United's golden generation have made a £8.5million loss with Salford City due to the pandemic - despite being promoted.
David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt bought the non-league side in 2014 when they were 11th in the Evo-stik Northern Premier League Division One North.
Less than a 15-minute drive from Old Trafford, United's famous starlets have since dragged the team to eighth in Division Two.
But the Ammies, who play at the Peninsula Stadium, made the loss of nearly £4.
