They are working ‘around the clock’ according to sources and are ‘confident’ that theirs will be the strongest package. Should Musk decide to get involved it would change the game. That was put down largely to the poor performance of Tesla stock. There are few for whom the prospect is a reality. His pockets are deep enough and he certainly has the clout. Surpassing such a figure for a full sale is inevitable. He also likes Manchester United – and is one of a select few who could afford to buy them.

No doubt the owners of rivals Liverpool, FSG, will have a keen eye on how the process evolves having previously indicated an interest to sell a part or all of the club. "With the Glazer family reportedly demanding a high price for the club - around £5 billion - this could be the perfect outcome, alongside any other interest, as it could trigger a bidding war among people with more than just business in mind.

Perhaps Elon Musk buying Manchester United isn't as bad an idea as it initially sounds.

This is also one of the few ways a Musk takeover of Manchester United could actually have a positive impact on society.
