Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor has expressed interest in acquiring Manchester United football club.
On Tuesday, plans for a European Super League apparently fell apart after football fans around the world gathered to protest the idea.
Manchester United were one of the teams that wanted to be part of the new ‘Super League’, but after rivals Manchester City and other Premier League teams took a stand against the very bad plans, ‘The Red Devils’ quickly followed.
Amid the chaos comes the announcement that many United fans have longed for, as CEO Ed Woodward has resigned from the club.
With rumors now circulating that the current owners, The Glazers, may be on their way out of Manchester, Conor McGregor has expressed his interest in buying the club.
‘Infamy’ begins Twitter with the following message.
Hey guys, I’m thinking of buying Manchester United!
What do you think?– Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) 20 April 2021
‘Hey guys, I’m thinking of buying Manchester United! What do you think?” – McGregor posted.
The Glazers, an American family that also owns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, bought the Manchester United Football Club in May 2005. Although they achieved early success under the leadership of then-manager Alex Ferguson, fans have always been critical of the Glazers for not investing in the club or on the field.
While Conor McGregor has amassed a lot of money from price battles, he would probably need a substantial loan to be able to buy United.
According to reports, the world famous football club would probably amount to a sale price of $ 4 billion.
Manchester United have a bunch of high profile talent on their roster, including but certainly not limited to the following players: Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire and the currently loaned Jesse Lingard.
As for the Irish star, Conor McGregor will return to the Octagon on July 10 for a highly anticipated trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier.
