Tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced he's "buying Manchester United".

Musk made the announcement in a Twitter spray last night.

The Tesla and SpaceX chief exec has pulled back from buying Twitter over concerns about the amount of genuine human users the platform claims to have.

Instead, Musk could be about to challenge the Glazer family with an offer for United - though it should be noted the South African is infamous for winding up friends and foes alike online.
