Usain Bolt to play for Manchester United on Sept. 2
Jamaican super star Usain Bolt – one of the most decorated Olympians of all time – will play for Manchester United, if he can get over the hamstring injury that marked the end of his sprint career.
Bolt has been called up for a Manchester United legends side to play against a Barcelona equivalent on September 2.
He has long been a fan of the English club and at various times has talked up his ambition to play professional soccer. Now with his athletics career over he will finally get the chance to show what he can do.
Former Manchester United captain Bryan Robson will manage the team, which will feature ex-players including Andy Cole, Edwin van der Sar, Louis Saha, Quinton Fortune, Paul Scholes, Jesper Blomqvist, Denis Irwin, Ronny Johnsen, Dwight Yorke, Wes Brown and Phil Neville.
The Barcelona side will be managed by Jose Mari Bakero and will feature Eric Abidal, Gaizka Mendieta, Gheorghe Popescu, Miguel Ángel Nadal, Ion Andoni Goikoetxea and Julio Salinas among others.
