The Jamaican sprint superstar was introduced to the fans at United's
ground before the 3-2 win against Fulham, and cheekily asked the Red
Devils supporters to try and persuade Alex Ferguson to sign him.
He
then got a chance to tap up the man himself: the pair enjoyed a cosy
chat after the game with Bolt posting a picture of himself and Fergie on
an Old Trafford couch - a meeting that appeared to involve glasses of red wine
and a plate of traditional football pies. Bolt himself captioned the
picture with a tantalisingly ambiguous message: "A wonder what we
discussing? Hmmm mmm."
What indeed? Last year Bolt said that he
"would love to play football for United after I retire", and after
defending his Olympic titles at both 100m and 200m this summer he
recently reiterated that he wants to try new things - though for the
moment that is likely to mean forays into the long jum or 400m.
Bolt
also got a chance to rub shoulders with United legend Bobby Charlton,
and also spoke to Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs in the tunnel where the
two United players - no strangers themselves - looked particularly impressed at the three gold gongs hanging round Bolt's neck.
