After the Glazer family, owners of Manchester United, recently expressed their desire to sell the English club, the North American technology multinational, Apple, appears to be one of the bidders to acquire the club.

According to SportsBible and Daily Star, both quoted by Notícias ao Minuto, the 'Apple Company' could be willing to pay 6.7 billion euros for Manchester United.

It is not known whether this figure is in line with the Glazer family's wishes or how Apple would benefit from this deal, but it is seen as an effective way for the company to diversify its investment portfolio.

It should be noted that advanced information suggests that the UK's richest man is also interested in acquiring the English club.
