According to our British colleagues, Elon Musk is in the middle of thinking about buying the English club Manchester United, a legendary club with 20 English championships and three Champions Leagues, and currently third in the Premier League.

To acquire the North of England team, the American billionaire would have to write a check for five billion euros.

A few months ago, Todd Boehly bought Chelsea for an equivalent amount.

Such a sum should not be a problem for the one who is considered one of the richest men on the planet, with a fortune exceeding 100 billion dollars.

If Elon Musk would still leave time for reflection, the new boss of Twitter should not take too long to react.

The Glazer family, current owners of Manchester United, give themselves until Friday to find their successor.

Elon Musk would not be the only one in the game.

Several Saudi and Qatari magnates are also interested, as is Jim Ratcliffe, the richest man in Great Britain, owner of Ineos and therefore of OGC Nice.
