Manchester United fans on Twitter have succeeded to make the phrase “purchase Manchester United” trend on the social media site in the United Kingdom by pleading with Elon Musk to buy the club from the Glazers. The world’s richest person, 50-year-old Elon Musk, just sealed a lucrative £35 billion agreement to acquire the app, and Musk has now hinted that Coca-Cola is next on his hit list…
It has spurred United fans to clamor for him to buy their club, as they appear to see a change in ownership as their path back to the top.
“Can you also buy Manchester United FC and put a decent team back in?” James Melville (@JamesMelville) tweeted Musk.
Another user (@Yungtambi1) stated: “@elonmusk Could you please purchase Manchester United football club? We’d need someone like you who truly cared about how well a business is going if our top club became a wreck.”
A third (@ Indianbeast6) stated: “Mr. Elon Musk, could you kindly acquire Manchester United? Our current owners are swindlers who are harming our fantastic football club. #pleasesaveus”

Protests against Glazers have occurred as recently as last week when over 1000 people forced the club’s megastore to close ahead of the 3-2 home win against Norwich.
The protest was organized by a group called ‘1958,’ and it saw a number of United fans descend on the stadium’s Munich tunnel, where the protest was brought to a halt.
Meanwhile, Musk, who has 87 million Twitter followers, has been teasing his next venture.
In response to a bogus tweet that said, “Now I’m going to buy McDonald’s and fix all of the ice cream machines,” he wrote, “Listen, I can’t do miracles, okay.”
Musk also just lost a plea to get out of an agreement that mandates him to regulate his tweets about his vehicle company, Tesla.
It comes after he recently stated that he has “financing secured” to take Tesla private in the future.
He also plans to make Twitter a free-speech-friendly atmosphere.
“Free expression is important to a functioning democracy,” Musk tweeted.
