Elon Musk, Manchester United message became the agenda !  Will Elon Musk Buy Manchester United ?

Elon Musk has managed to come to the fore again. The manchester united message of Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and SpaceX company, became the agenda. In the news that surprised football lovers, Elon Musk sent a message on Twitter that he bought Manchester United. 

Elon Musk, the richest person in the world with a fortune of $270 billion, later announced that he was joking. The businessman, who likes to joke, surprised football lovers with this message. With this message from Elon Musk, it was seen that there was an increase in followers on the social media accounts of manchester united.

At first, Musk, who seemed to start a political tweet series, later brought the subject to Manchester United somehow. Elon Musk first said, "Obviously, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party!" he tweeted. Before people could even understand Musk's tweet, another tweet came from Musk, which received much more likes: "Also, I'm buying Manchester United, you're welcome".

Why did Elon Musk specifically say he would buy Manchester United ?

As you can imagine, Elon Musk's post about Manchester United received more likes and retweets than his post about next year's US elections. It is not strange that a sport-related post that almost everyone has an opinion about gets more likes and comments than a witty political tweet. 

So why did Musk specifically choose 'Manchester United' and why did he use the phrase 'you're welcome'? The answer to this question is hidden in Manu's current state. In fact, Manchester United, which we can easily say that it is one of the most established and successful clubs in the history of football, has not been drawing a good profile in recent years, and the losses that can be considered as 'defeats' cause the team nicknamed the Red Devils to be ridiculed.

One of Elon Musk's usual jokes !

Elon Musk, after the sharing in question, "Are you serious?" Answering the question "No", he said that the tweet is a continuation of the long-running 'prank' series and that he does not intend to buy any sports team. Still, Musk said that if he were to buy any team it would be Manchester United, Manu's favorite team as a kid. 

The current owner of Manchester United is already an American !

To remind those who don't know; Despite being an English club and playing in the English Premiere League, Manchester United is actually an American-owned club. In 2005, businessman Malcolm Irving Glazer bought the English club for £790 million. Although Manu achieved significant success in his first years under the control of the Glazer Family, it is safe to say that he did not see the light of day after the death of Malcolm Irving Glazer in 2014. 

So would Elon Musk really buy Manchester United? We don't want to discourage Manu fans, but to be honest, buying Red Devils isn't a very profitable trade these days. Because Manu, who lost 4-0 in the 35th minute of the league match last weekend, does not give the image of a team that will bring sportive or financial success to its owner in the near future.

How much will Elon Musk pay if he really wants to buy Manchester United ?

Elon Musk really tried to buy Manchester United… How much will he have to pay for this 'buying'? According to the latest "World's Most Valuable Football Teams" report by Forbes, Manchester United is still the 3rd most valuable football team in the world, despite all the failures, with $4.6 billion. In addition, according to Transfermarkt, the total market value of the players in the football team is 708 million euros. 

In the meantime, let us remind you that Cristiano Ronaldo, who is shown as one of the best football players in the world, still wears the Manchester United jersey.

Although we all know that Elon Musk is joking with the Manchester United post, it is not difficult to guess that many football fans said "I wish" after seeing the post.
