Elon Musk net worth confirmed amid Manchester United takeover rumours

Elon Musk is now reportedly among the interested parties ready to make a bid for Manchester United.

That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim the Tesla and Twitter owner is weighing up whether the opportunity at Old Trafford is too good to pass up. The Glazer family put United up for sale in November and a 'soft' deadline has been put in place for Friday for interested parties to make an offer by the Raine Group.

Raine are the bank overseeing the transaction and played the same role in the race to buy Chelsea last year, which Todd Boehly eventually won. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Qatari investors and Saudi Arabian consortiums are among the interested parties ahead of a potentially vital few days, but they are now set to face competition from Musk if reports are to be believed.
