Four-time major-winning golfer Rory McIlroy sees him joining the investment group into Alpine F1 as a 'great opportunity'
Rory McIlroy said he is open to the prospect of investing in Manchester United and welcomed Sir Jim Ratcliffe's proposed involvement with his boyhood club. The 34-year-old Northern Irishman, who helped Europe win the Ryder Cup in Rome a few weeks ago, was speaking at the Circuit of Americas in Texas after acquiring a stake in Formula One team Alpine.
'There is Tom Brady at Birmingham and there are a few golfers - Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas - who invested with the 49ers Group, and they own a tiny slice of Leeds. They asked me if I wanted to come on board, and I said as a Man United fan I cannot go anywhere near that!'Sir Jim has got a great track record and everybody that does support United should be excited by the possibilities if they give him full sporting authority and decisions for the club. As a fan I am excited.
