Apple denies rumours of buying English Football Club Manchester United

An Apple insider confirmed that Tim Cook and the Cupertino company are not interested in purchasing Manchester United, the famous English football club. The initial rumours about this decision shocked the world, with the Apple CEO allegedly in talks with the team to acquire it for as much as $7 billion, allowing it to expand more of its sports ventures.

An Apple insider familiar with the rumoured acquisition of Manchester United is said to have debunked this information, claiming that Cupertino is not buying the Red Devils’ football club. This follows recent claims that Tim Cook and the company are eyeing Manchester as their next lucrative acquisition.

It is unknown whether Apple’s next acquisition will be of sports teams rather than technology companies, but this recent purchase of Manchester United has already been called false by a source familiar with the matter.

Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, are selling the club, putting it up for sale for as much as $6.9 billion (£5.8 billion). This comes after Manchester United announced that Portuguese football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is leaving the club.

According to a source with direct knowledge of this news, the information currently circulating online is false, and Apple is not interested in purchasing the sports team. An anonymous source spread rumours about Apple purchasing a sports team now or in the future. According to the source, the news about its deal with the Red Devils is still false.

This rumour is part of Apple’s efforts to provide a “Apple Sports” streaming experience through its Apple TV+ app. The company confirmed that it is focusing on bringing Major League Soccer to its streaming platform.
