Elon Musk on his Twitter account posted a statement that he is buying Manchester United.
We can’t say it is certain but this is certainly a big statement coming from Elon Musk amidst media frenzy surrounding the club recently.
I would love it Elon to buy Manchester United without any hesitation. He is worth 288B USD. MUFC need to get rid of Glazers and Elon would be a perfect to take over. Who is better to fight oil tycoon takeover of modern football? United’s brand value would appeal to Elon’s portfolio. Interesting development indeed.
It turned out soon enough Elon was only joking. He confirmed he has no plans to buy any sports team. However, if he were to buy a sports team someday, it would be Manchester United because it was his favorite team when he was a kid.
Manchester United fans and wider football community have expressed solidarity against Glazer family’s ownership of the club. The movement have seen its ups and downs. However, after disastrous start to the season the United voice against Glazers are reaching a pivotal strength.
Manchester United fans are set to protest against Glazer family’s ownership on Monday, August 22 at Old Trafford, ahead of Premier League clash against Liverpool.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe is perhaps the answer to United’s problems.
