Elon Musk caused a stir by tweeting that he was buying the English soccer team Manchester United whose current owners are opposed by many fans then saying several hours later that it was a joke. It comes as the billionaire Tesla CEO faces a legal battle in the U.S. after backing out of a deal to buy Twitter for $44 billion. He is a prolific user of the platform, often musing about social issues or joking with his 103 million followers and occasionally getting into trouble with the U.S. regulators. Early Wednesday, Musk sent a tweet about his political affiliations and then added in a second tweet: Also, I'm buying Manchester United ur welcome. That came as shocking news in the Manchester United world albeit welcome to many after nearly a decade of sub-par performances. Asked by a follower whether he was serious, Musk later tweeted, No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I'm not buying any sports teams. Musk previously ran afoul of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissi

Outplayed for much of the game, United's players looked like they would survive for a point until Moutinho met a defensive headed clearance by controlling the ball at the edge of the area and driving in a volley that rolled just inside the post.
