Usain Bolt To Fulfil Lifelong Dream…..Set To Feature In A Game For Manchester United

USAIN Bolt has signed for Manchester United — to play a charity football match against Barcelona. The lifelong fan was to make his first appearance since retiring from athletics to line up alongside legends Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes at Old Trafford on September 2.

But after pulling his hamstring in his final race at the World Championships in London on Saturday, the 30-year-old athlete might not be fit. It gives Bolt just under three weeks to get himself fit. Bolt has long been a Red Devils fan and at various times has talked up his ambition to play professional football. Now with his athletics career over he will finally get the chance to show what he can do at the Theatre of Dreams.Former United captain Bryan Robson will manage the home team, which will feature ex-players including Champions League winners Andy Cole, Edwin van der Sar, Paul Scholes, Jesper Blomqvist, Denis Irwin, Ronny Johnsen, Dwight Yorke, Wes Brown, Phil Neville, Louis Saha, Mikael Silvestre, Quinton Fortune and Dion Dublin.Photo Credit: Getty
