Forget Elon Musk, only Jennie Kim can save Manchester United

MOVE over Elon Musk, a new savour of Manchester United has emerged in the unlikely form of South Korean singer/rapper Jennie Kim.

Twitter went into meltdown on Friday, August 19 when Jennie Kim appeared in the latest Blackpink video wearing a Manchester United shirt.

As noted, Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, with one single tweet on the evening of Tuesday, August 16, sent the internet into a total frenzy by suggesting that he was purchasing Manchester United football club.

The billionaire posted on his official Twitter account: “To be clear, I support the left half of the Republican Party and the right half of the Democratic Party!”, then another tweet that said: “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome [sic].”

He later revealed that it was a joke.

Manchester United have lost both of their Premier League games this season, which led Piers Morgan to brand the Premier League side “rotten from the top down” after criticisms were aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo following the side’s humiliating defeat at Brentford.

The 57-year-old wrote: “Pathetic to see @Cristiano getting all the media headlines/blame for this United fiasco.

“Without him & his 18 PL goals last season they’d have been relegated, and without him this season – WHEN, not if he leaves – they might well be relegated.

“Whole club is rotten from top down.”
