If another opportunity comes my way I will look at it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/22\/01\/76848857-0-image-a-6_1697934441803.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Rory McIlroy has revealed the investment he most wants is a stake in Manchester United<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/22\/01\/76848877-0-image-a-9_1697934460657.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Ryder Cup star bought into Formula One team Alpine this week and is at the US Grand Prix<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/22\/01\/76848887-0-image-a-8_1697934456860.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Northern Irishman is pictured with Alpine&#8217;s drivers, Pierre Gasly (L) and Esteban Ocon (R)<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I would love to be able to own a tiny percentage of the club I grew up cheering on as a boy. That would be very cool. It is not something that has come across our table as of yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But there is Tom Brady at Birmingham and there are few golfers \u2013 Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas \u2013 invested with the 49ers Group, who own a 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!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>McIlroy, 34, will attend as many F1 as he can, but dismissed any notion that his latest investment \u2013 his 22nd in all \u2013 would distract him from his golf. \u2018The balance is fine,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Turning to his finger-jabbing in the car park at Marco Simone in Rome on the penultimate evening of the Ryder Cup, McIlroy insisted there were no hard feelings three weeks on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/22\/01\/76848879-0-image-a-7_1697934452762.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Team Europe&#8217;s hero, McIlroy, brought the Ryder Cup to the paddock in Austin, Texas\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Any regrets? Jeez, no, not at all,\u2019 said Europe\u2019s top scorer, who had been angered by the triumphalist celebrations of Joe LaCava, caddie for Patrick Cantlay, at the end of the fourballs.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I felt like what happened in the car park galvanized the team. It benefitted us. Things happen in the heat of the moment. Tensions were high, but Joe came into the European team room on Sunday night and had a drink and a chat.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I have had a great relationship with Joe over the years and that wasn\u2019t going to change. The incident happened. I didn\u2019t want to meet anyone on the Sunday morning because I wanted what happened to fuel me and my focus was on making sure Europe won the Ryder Cup \u2013 before sorting out all the other stuff afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And it is all fine.
