Elon Musk is keeping his cards close to his chest as to whether he will enter the expecting bidding war to buy Manchester United.
Friday's bidding deadline is edging nearer with Britain's richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari investors interested in succeeding the Glazers as the Red Devils' new owners.
Musk, who owns Tesla and Twitter, and is ranked by Forbes as the second-richest person in the world with a net worth of £157bn, is keeping a close eye on proceedings, but is yet to officially throw his hat into the ring.
