OLYMPIC SPRINT LEGEND USAIN BOLT'S DREAM OF PLAYING FOR MANCHESTER UNITED TO COME TRUE-AT PAL RIO FERDINAND'S TESTIMONIAL NEXT MONTH.
The fastest man on the planet will play for Manchester United in Rio Ferdinand’s testimonial match against Sevilla on August 9, according to a report in today’s Sunday Sun.The world’s fastest man will pull on a Red Devil’s shirt for the match against Sevilla at Old Trafford. Bolt has mentioned on countless occasions how he would like to play for Manchester United when his sprint career is over and befitting a man who has demolished 100 metre records, the Jamaican seems to believe he is up to the task.It will be fascinating to see if Usain’s speed will be matched by his passing and ball control.”Rio Ferdinand has apparently convinced new Manchester United boss David Moyes to play Bolt and it should be a cracking watch at Old Trafford – as well as help sell tickets!
Jamaican Bolt, 26, previously begged ex-United boss Sir Alex Ferguson to give him a chance to try out for the team. He said: “I know I could make a difference. I’d be the fastest in the team — but I can play as well.”And defender Rio convinced Fergie to let the 100metre and 200metre Olympic champ have a run out in United’s friendly against Real Madrid this summer.The plan appeared to have been scuppered after Fergie retired at the end of last season to be replaced by Everton’s David Moyes but Rio has persuaded the new boss to let Bolt play in his testimonial, which comes after more than a decade at Old Trafford.
Bolt’s selection for the August 9th friendly is expected to be announced by the club next week.
