Apple ‘interested in $5.8bn Man Utd takeover’

United States tech giant Apple are reportedly interested in buying Manchester United in a $5.8 billion takeover.

Manchester United, according to a statement posted on the club’s website, disclosed earlier in the week that they were ready to start listening to offers for the sale of the club.

According to Daily Star UK, with Man United now available, the world’s largest tech company may be interested in acquiring the club for £5.8billion.

The California-based tech firm has never previously owned a major sports team, but the commercial opportunities provided by United are said to be a primary factor in their interest.
