The world’s richest man, Elon Musk , is making a scene again. This time Musk claims to have bought English club Manchester United .
Musk made the statement via his Twitter account. It is not yet known whether Musk is planning to acquire Manchester United from the Glazer family or only to buy a portion of the club’s shares, which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the code MANU.N.
Musk’s tweet about MU is a continuation of a previous tweet that emphasized support for the US Republican and Democratic parties.
“To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party!”
Until this news was revealed, there had been no official response from MU or the Glazer family as the owner of the club which has a valuation of US$2.8 billion. However, looking at Musk’s history of being fond of making sensations, then this could be just a trick.
Because, not long ago, Elon Musk canceled the purchase of Twitter shares after he had been buzzing about it on social media. However, Musk’s tweet might make MU fans excited first and hope it will come true.

MU fans are already stifling with the leadership of the Glazers who have owned the club since 2005. MU is used as a field for Glazer’s money and the debt of the family company is transferred to the club.
Moreover, since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, Manchester United under the Glazers have become increasingly chaotic and have not won a trophy for five years. Even the last Premier League trophy won nine years.
This season, Manchester United recorded their worst start, losing twice and slumped in the distended position of the Premier League. Whereas last season, MU was also devastated after nirgelar and finished sixth.
