Musk, the world's richest person, said on Twitter that he wanted to buy England's most successful club before clarifying that it was a joke and that he had no interest in purchasing any sports teams. "If the club is for sale, Jim is definitely a potential buyer," Ratcliffe's spokesperson said."If something like this was possible, we would be interested in talking with a view to long-term ownership."

Ratcliffe, head of chemical company INEOS, is from the Manchester area and a long-standing fan of the club.
