Popular US tech giant, Apple has reportedly joined the race to buy giant Premier League club, Manchester United.

This is according to recent report from the Daily Star, and fans have been reacting.

According to the press, the world’s largest tech company, Apple may be interested in acquiring the club for £5.8billion, and any potential deal would will become the most costly acquisition of a football club in history, surpassing the £4.25billion fee a consortium led by Todd Boehly paid for Chelsea earlier this year.

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.

WOW.
