Business mogul Elon Musk has hinted that he would likely acquire Premier League giant, Manchester United from its present owners.
The American businessman who wanted to acquire Twitter at some point has again made his intention known to dabble in football business after tweeting that he’s buying the Red Devils.
His Tweet reads: “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome”.
Musk is worth around $260 billion, meaning that he could easily afford to buy the Old Trafford outfit.
Meanwhile, the Red Devils fans are no longer comfortable with the current club’s owners, the Glazer family, and have been protesting, asking them to go.
Manchester United are rooted to the bottom of the EPL table after losing their first two games of the season first time in a long while.
The club had a market capitalization of over 2 billion dollars as of this Tuesday’s stock market, according to Reuters.
Also as of May, Forbes had Manchester United valued at around 4.6 billion dollars, with a revenue of over $633 million in the last year.
Manchester United’s next game is against Liverpool at Old Trafford next week Monday and the Red Devils will be hoping to use the match to redeem their image.
Liverpool has defeated Manchester United in their last 4 encounters in the Premier League.
However, Manchester United inflicted a 4-0 bashing on Liverpool in a pre-season game that was held in Bangkok.
Both Liverpool and Manchester United are winless in their first two games of the current season.
