Four-time major-winning golfer Rory McIlroy has expressed an interest in buying a stake in Manchester United.
It was announced last week that the former world No.1 was part of a consortium including Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes who had invested €200 million ($210,970m) in the Alpine Formula One team.

Speaking at the Circuit of Americas where he was present for the Austin Grand Prix, McIlroy told Sky Sports of his desire to grow his sporting portfolio.
“Sports team ownership used to be limited to private equity, and people who had a ton of money. But now sports stars are becoming more savvy and using their money in the right way,” he said.
“I would love to be able to own a tiny percentage of the club I grew up cheering on as a boy.”
