Neville clubbed together with other ex-Red Devils such as Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes to buy the club in 2014.
However, Neville and Beckham’s old team-mates have relinquished their ownership.
With a new look behind the scenes, the club has now taken action to make changes on the pitch.
Following an eighth-place finish in League Two, Salford City have released 17 players from the first team.
One player that will be getting a fresh start is Matthew Lund.
The midfielder joined the Ammies back in 2021 and has made 120 league appearances.
Since October, the veteran had been contributing in the role of a player-coach.
Other notable stars that will be leaving upon the expiry of their contracts are Conor McAleny, Liam Shephard and Ryan Watson.
Salford has kept hold of the Supporters’ Player of the Year Ossama Ashley.
The midfielder came through he academies of Fulham and Wimbledon before joining West Ham in 2020.
