Usain
Bolt has started his football career after being handed a short-term contract
at Manchester United.
A sprinter by trade, Bolt has never been shy about his love for
United and football in general, often declaring that he’s good enough to play
alongside Wayne Rooney and co.
And Louis van Gaal is set to give the Jamaican the chance prove
himself – with a deal agreed for him to play in the reserves.
As Bolt isn’t actually a footballer, he is eligible to be
registered as a United reserve at any time, but will fulfill a number of
athletics commitments before meeting up with the squad.
Bolt – who can run 100 metres in 9.58 seconds – is thought to
be planning to retire from athletics in 2017, but could bring that
date forward should he be given a chance in United’s first-team.
