Fans have reacted with bemusement and amusement to reports Manchester United could be bought out by US tech giant Apple.
With United's American owners, the Glazer family, announcing this week the club could be sold in a deal worth upwards of £5billion, potential investors are starting to emerge.
A report in the Daily Star claimed the makers of the iPhone and the MacBook could launch a takeover bid worth £5.8billion.
No doubt Apple would seek to exploit the many commercial opportunities that would come with owning a sports team despite having no prior experience in running one.
