Manchester United coach Phil Neville admits Salford City's new owners want to lead them into the Football League.
His brother Gary, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are also involved.
Salford City currently play in the Evo Stik League First Division North - English football's eighth tier - but they have big ambitions.
"The short-term aim is to keep the club going on the level it is going," said Neville to the Daily Mail.
"It is very sustainable. The committee do a great job and they will carry on doing that. We are not going to interfere in any way with how the club is run.
"But there is a fairytale story to this. Can we get into the Football League? Can we take Salford City as high as we possibly can? It is going to be a fantastic journey."
