Billionaire Elon Musk continues to be linked with a takeover of Manchester United.
Fresh reports in the national press have claimed that the Twitter and Tesla owner is 'monitoring' the situation at Old Trafford. Few possess the vast wealth needed to be able to make a play for the Red Devils, whose owners, the Glazer family, are looking to sell up.
The sale of Chelsea by Roman Abramovich to the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital group has put down a marker as to what sort of valuation United and Liverpool, whose American owners are also contemplating selling their club, would have put on them. Chelsea were bought for around £4.25billion and the Daily Mail reports that Musk, who has previously teased United fans over a potential buy-out of their club, could eclipse Boehly and his consortium with a £4.5bn move for the Red Devils.
