How Usain Bolt would look in Man Utd kit
Bolt is a fan of Man United
Bolt is hoping to strike a pose like this again after the 200m final
SPRINT king Usain Bolt yesterday begged Sir Alex Ferguson for the chance to play for Manchester United — but warned he would have to be quick.
Bolt, 25, said: “People think I am joking. But if Alex Ferguson called me up
and said, ‘OK let’s do this, come and have a trial’, it would be impossible
for me to say No.
Job done: Bolt (centre left) won the 100metres comfortably with Yohan Blake and Justin Gatlin coming second
“I would not take up the challenge if I didn’t think I was good enough. I am a
very accomplished player and know I could make a difference.

“I would be the fastest player in the team — but I can play as well.”

The 6ft 5in Jamaican added: “I am in Britain for a few more days. If Alex
Ferguson wants to give me a call he knows where I am.”
Bolt — who thrilled the world with his 9.63 seconds victory on Sunday night —
has been pals with Sir Alex and his stars since visiting Manchester in 2009
to take part in a 150m sprint through the city streets.
He said recently: “I definitely want to see what I could do. I think I could
step up to the Rooneys.”
A United spokesman said: “As the fastest man on Earth he would undoubtedly add
speed to the team.”
Bolt won the most hotly-contested sprint ever before an 80,000-strong crowd
at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, East London.
