What is a common thing between UFC star Conor McGregor and tech-giant Elon Musk? Both are the richest in their respective fields. Apart from having a winning mentality and inhumane workload, these two also shared the same desire to purchase a soccer team (Manchester United) on their social media handles.

The richest man on Earth, with a net worth of $265.7 billion, shared a post with his massive 103.3 million followers on Twitter.

After sharing a view on the Republican and Democratic Party, Musk tweeted, “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome.”

The tweet floated on the internet and created a lot of noise in the sports-entertainment industry. However, Musk soon cleared the air around it as he answered if he was serious.

“No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams,” wrote Elon Musk.

Further, the Tesla & SpaceX CEO had a revelation about his tie with The Red Devils, “Although, if it were any team, it would be Man U. They were my fav team as a kid.”

United, founded in 1878, has been an iconic club that has won a record 13 English Premier League titles. However, their recent form hasn’t been the best that the fans have witnessed. Last week, Manchester United lost 4-0 to Brentford.

UFC superstar Conor McGregor showed a similar interest in 2021.

Just like Elon Musk, Conor McGregor previously wanted to buy Manchester United

Former two-division UFC world champion Conor McGregor, who has a net worth of $200 million, also showed an interest in buying the club not too long ago.
