According to reports, on the 16th local time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on social media that he wanted to acquire Manchester United Football Club.
Previously, when Musk announced the acquisition of Twitter , a large number of Manchester United fans left messages saying that they hoped he would buy Manchester United, because the current owners of Manchester United the Glazer family have been criticized for being incompetent and useless. Manchester United has been criticized this year. His performance has also been poor.
So far, this tweet has received 71,000 likes, and the fans commenting below have exploded. ↓
Most netizens expressed disbelief→
Do you think he will really buy it? Or is it just nonsense?
Some netizens also expressed the hope that he would stop spending money on things that already exist and try different things. ↓
There are also netizens who are not too concerned about the excitement and encourage him to buy the Yankees (American professional baseball team) because everyone needs an owner who is not afraid of spending money and can make the team win the championship. ↓
Of course, at present, no one except himself knows whether his statement is serious. Reuters pointed out that it is unclear whether he plans to seek any agreement.
According to estimates from the sports finance website Sportico in the 2021 Premier League, Manchester United is valued at approximately US$4.65 billion, which is higher than another Premier League giant, Chelsea whose former owner is Russian tycoon Abramovich Out about 47%. But judging from the current market value, Manchester United's market value is only US$2.5 billion, which is 21% lower than Chelsea, which was acquired for US$3.16 billion earlier this year.
This also means that acquiring the team may be a good deal, especially if the acquirer can revitalize Manchester United's momentum.

Shortly afterwards, Twitter's board of directors tried to block the above-mentioned intention; in May, Musk temporarily shelved the transaction, and the market speculated that it might be for "bargaining"; in June, Musk said that Twitter had "seriously breached its obligations" and may give up the acquisition plan ; In July, Twitter formally sued Musk to complete a $44 billion acquisition. Musk tweeted "How ironic", which was suspected to be a response to the lawsuit; at the end of July, Musk launched a countersuit against Twitter, but the current content of the lawsuit Not yet open to the public.
