He already owns one!
He said this;
“They don't want to sell it. It's owned by the six children of the father and they don't want to sell it.
“If it had been for sale in the summer then, yes, we would have probably had a go following on from the Chelsea thing, but we can't sit around hoping that one day Manchester United will become available.

“We have an exciting sporting franchise [Ligue 1 side Nice], but the one thing we don't have is a Premier [League] team.

“The most popular sport in the world is football and it is the sport we were brought up with and it's the one most close to us. We really should have an asset in the sporting franchise.”

So it's clearly not cut and dry. I reckon if their is a deal to be done, he'd try and be part of a consortium involved in a takeover of United. He supports the club, so it wouldn't be surprising.
And he only said this a matter of weeks ago

Musk would fire DDG because his distance covered stats are worse than the team median

Musk would fire the keeper in middle of the game, because he did not save one goal and that hurt his feelings. He is off the rocker most of the time

Is Ratcliffe rich enough to take on oil rich clubs?
No. Tbh, i don't get all this love towards him. We would be much better organised maybe but if he needs investors then they all would be here for the money. So tight on transfers and wages.

Hope we get a conglomerate that has deep ties with their home government, which must be a tier 1 economical powerhouse. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (also owners of Urawa Red Diamonds - 2 times AFCCL winners, 1 time as AFCCL runners-up, upcoming AFCCL finalist) and Samsung come to mind. When people ask how we can counter oil money and Middle East governments, that's my answer.

Yeah I'm hoping he buys as he's is reportedly a United fan.
Ratcliffe allegedly is a shite owner too, there’s a post on here somewhere detailing all the poor things at Nice that’s gone on during Ratcliffe’s ownership.

Wow :lol:

Musk is a fecking lunatic screw that

Are you on morphine?

He would probably sack Luke Shaw for tracking back quick enough, on a serious not the likes of Musk need to stay the feck away.

Legitimately wanting Musk to own us is downright bonkers :lol:

Leader who is doing ad hoc decisions? And who puts his nose in everything? No thanks.
In football he would be recipe for disaster
Wow so weird. United fans are the most miserable, I swear. We don't want Arabs, Qataris, UAE, Elon, No americans etc Who the feck do you want? You want this God fearing educated perfect married family man billionaire to take over like you are living in fantasy land. This is the real world get of your high horse.

And to turn your nose on a billionaire who has built successful businesses from scratch is mind boggling. Because he says his mind? did he rape, kill, discriminate, rob?

I am not trying to be smart here, but who do you guys realistically do you want to take over United besides the CAFs beloved Ratcliffe who doesn't even want us :lol:

Few Billionaires in India as well, surpised we have never been linked with any of them really.
Adani should buy the club and Ambani should buy Liverpool. The battle will be legendary.
We may even have Modi sign on the merchandise.

Plot twist: Ronaldo leads a consortium that buys the club. Sacks Ten Hag, makes himself manager and installs a 50ft gold statue of himself outside Old Trafford.

Yes. He is valued at what, 14 billion? That's plenty of resources to sign the top guys EtH targets.

Partnership with a 3rd party? We need a big buyer to get rid of them ideally.
Yeah the worst case scenario would be some idiot feeding the Glazers enough capital to hang around. They need to be out. We need a big offer that tops the others that they cannot say no to.
