LONDON (AFP) – Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt, an avowed Manchester
United fan, could appear for the Premier League club in a charity game
next summer, according to manager Alex Ferguson.
"Usain's a character and a big United fan," Ferguson told Inside United
magazine of Bolt, fresh from his second successive triple gold haul at
the London Olympics.
"But it's interesting he says he'd like to play in a charity game. It
could be brilliant, and next year when we play Real Madrid's Legends
again, there could be opportunities to bring him up and see how he
does."
That game is scheduled for June 3, 2013, at Old Trafford, but comes in
mid-season for Bolt ahead of several lucrative Diamond League meets and
the August 10-18 world championships in Moscow.
