8 Most Ridiculous Man Utd Rumours That Never Happened

1. Usain Bolt To Have Man Utd Trial

Manchester United have been linked with some of the world's greatest players in the past, but never before have they - or anyone - been tipped to sign a track and field ace. That was until 2012, however, when former manager Sir Alex Ferguson considered striking a deal for Usain Bolt. The 100 metre ace was once reported to have been on the verge of undergoing a trial with the Red Devils, with 'Lightning Bolt' himself even putting it on record that he'd be interested in representing the Premier League team. Bolt once 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.

In addition to a trial, Bolt has also been linked with representing United at an annual friendly match, and while that seems more realistic, neither this, nor his trial, has yet happened. Still, we imagine he'd be better than Nani... Which other ridiculous Manchester United rumours deserve to be on this list? Share your own picks in the comments thread below.
