Chairman of Heirs Holdings Tony Elumelu on Thursday spoke on the possibility of buying the majority stakes in Manchester United, Igbere TV reports.

There have been growing frustrations at the Glazer family, owners of the club, following its decision to join the breakaway European Super League which has now fallen through.

Fans broke into the club’s Carrington training ground on Thursday and protested against the Glazer ownership.

Responding to a Twitter user

@victorpazubuike who urged Mr Elumelu to “create a consortium of investors” and buy the club, the UBA chairman said any investor would jump at the offer to own a stake at the Manchester club.

He, however, stated his reservation being global sports politics.

“Lol. I know Man United has a solid fan base that is fiercely loyal to the club. Any investor will jump at an offer to own a piece of it… but global sports politics” he tweeted.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and three other Premier League clubs that make up the ‘Big Six’ were forced to quit the Super League after it raised dust among fans and other stakeholders.

Elumelu is not the only Nigerian billionaire to be associated with the prospects of buying an English football club. Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote has spoken severally about his desire to buy Arsenal which is currently owned by American Stan Kroenke.

Hmmmm

He no easy

Man united is hot Akara and Elumelu is not in the clique of world billionaires.

We are talking $ and £ here .

Stop putting him in a spot.

I don't think he rolls with the top world billionaires for them to trust him with their millions. We all know how precarious football biz is.

He wants to be a zebra!!

I so much respect this man

He came to our school some weeks back for Joshua Generation International Youth conference and I must confess,his speech was so inspirational.

Nigerians running abroad to buy clubs while the NPFL is in total shambles.







I can't imagine the fan base of Man U and Arsenal should our money bags buy them over.

na so dey go dey claim nonsense shebi na so dangote dey do gra gra say I wan buy arsenal why Dem no say there money Neva reach

lokz...it wont be that easy...you think they are no rich business men in the whole of Europe that are even richer than elumelu bt they don't have any chance of buying such a big club..
owning a football club in Europe is mainly influenced by the politics played by sets of rich business cartels and you cnt jus spring up with ur billions to own a big club no matter how rich you are.
its even a lot difficult to own shares in such club n dts d global politics he is talking about...
if its dt easy, dangote would have stand a chance of owning arsenal after trying soo hard for years..

Man U fans now....

Money talks rubbish stops.


@Seniorwriter

Wow

Good move, I must say

Good business man.

My signature is the Future, don't miss out

That awkward moment when you realize Messi is richer than this guy

Mr tony it cheaper for you to buy an established nigerian club and invenst and make it a continental force.

He gave us Money for Efiko, when we were working on a mobile app, the guy really champions local development.

The Glazers will never willingly sell. The fans have to force them

Ok

You have to weigh the odds before investment.

Why not invest in Nigeria leagues

Is a shame that despite all the billionaires Nigeria have, we cannot galvanise a strong league which can be a pride of Africa.

Dangote wants to buy Arsenal while this man wants to buy Man U.

Cant Nigeria come up with a strong plan to get these guys buy our club and make it very gainful.

We can even say the winner of our league will get oil blocks to take it away from useless politicians.

To be a black is surely not a day job.

Money is talking

Ok

Im praying for Nigerian man to own a club in Europe... Expecially in England



God please grant my wish


God Bless Nigeria

Na womanchester

If you’re an investor,would you buy any NPFL club the way the league is being run? Be objective and not sentimental okay

It is his money, he can spend it anyhow he feels like..

You're welcome to use your money and buy the entire NPFL out of patriotism. It will be the best investment for you in years, my dear patriot.

Ok. It is noted.
