>Esports News UK report that Manchester United are among the bidders (along with Fnatic and another third party, rumoured to be German football club Schalke) to sign an unnamed Overwatch team.
>United, still the third-biggest football club in the world, may seem an odd fit for a band of gamers trying to make a living in a world full of fictional science ninjas and talking apes. But in reality they’re just the latest in a growing line of European clubs seeing the potential in owning a piece of the esports pie.
>More recently, as more and more kids (and eyeballs, and Euros) have been drawn to esports and video games, these football clubs have followed. A number of teams now have dedicated esports ventures, from Wolfsburg and Schalke in Germany to West Ham in England to Besiktas in Turkey to Valencia in Spain.
