Man United Transfer News: Usain Bolt To Trial For Red Devils?
“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."
People think I am joking. But if Alex Ferguson called me up and said, OK lets do this, come and have a trial, it would be impossible for me to say No. I would not take up the challenge if I didnt 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. I am in Britain for a few more days. If Alex Ferguson wants to give me a call he knows where I am.Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand would be more than happy to welcome the short distance sprint king to Old Trafford. Speaking on micro social-networking site Twitter, he said:
If you want that trial at Man Utd shout me, Ill speak to the boss!! Well done in 100m.He even suggested a position for him:
"We'll put you upfront, just run behind defences + scholes will find you but #CanYouFinish"Usain Bolt ran the 100m in a remarkable 9.63 seconds on Sunday night in perhaps the highlight of this summer's games which was watched by a record breaking 20 million people in the UK. Yesterday's overnight ratings showed 19.4 million people watched the sprint on BBC1 and over 600,000 more turned in on the "red button" - which resulted in the UK's biggest ever Olympics audience. There is no doubt that such pace would give Premier League defenders a daunting task next season. He has involved himself with last seasons Premier League runners up in the past, giving sprint training to former Red Devil Cristiano Ronaldo during pre-season at United a few years ago. Bolt added:
I wouldnt take up the challenge if I didnt think I was good enough. Im a very accomplished player and know I could make a difference. Id be the fastest player, but I can play as well. I feel that I really helped Cristiano Ronaldo become a more complete player.Fergie, sign him up.
