Elon Musk is considering buying Manchester United wich price is over €5 billion

Tech bil­lion­aire and sec­ond-rich­est man in the world, Elon Musk, is con­sid­er­ing a bid for Man­ches­ter United.

The Glaz­er fam­i­ly made it clear in Novem­ber that they were will­ing to lis­ten to a stake or takeover offer from the Pre­mier League giant.

Sev­er­al com­pa­nies have expressed inter­est in buy­ing Unit­ed, which could fetch more than €5 bil­lion, a world record for a sports franchise.

Mer­chant bank Raines Group is lead­ing the sale, with inter­est com­ing from the Far East, the Mid­dle East and the Unit­ed States.

British bil­lion­aire Sir Jim Rat­cliffe, who is a fan of Man­ches­ter Unit­ed, is also interested.

How­ev­er, Musk, who owns Twit­ter and Tes­la, also likes Man­ches­ter Unit­ed, accord­ing to the Dai­ly Mail.

Mr. Musk, 51, who is val­ued at €177 bil­lion, is one of the few peo­ple who can buy the “red devil.”

He is sec­ond only to Bernard Arnault, CEO and chair­man of lux­u­ry goods mak­er LMVH, at €176million.

Fol­low­ing Unit­ed’s IPO, Musk appears to be watch­ing the sit­u­a­tion closely.

He thinks the South African great has an oppor­tu­ni­ty at Old Traf­ford that he must not miss.

But the Fri­day dead­line for bids is fast approaching.

Musk has already set his Twit­ter fol­low­ers on fire by claim­ing he intends to buy Man­ches­ter United.

Elon Musk tweet­ed in August last year, “Buy­ing Man­ches­ter Unit­ed again, welcome.”

“No, it’s a run­ning joke on Twit­ter,” Tes­la’s boss replied.

“Don’t buy any sports team”.

If it’s a “team”, it’s Man­ches­ter Unit­ed. It was my favorite team when I was a kid. ”

He added, “Standup is my side business.”
