thescottc Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog/dirty-tackle/post/Usain-Bolt-wants-to-play-for-Manchester-United-;_ylt=Ah4S7iCcMfi5..QsV74t2K00SAU6?urn=sow-266267 Since Usain Bolt gained world-wide fame for being ridiculously fast at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he's been able to mix in visits to his favorite club, Manchester United, his other favorite club, Real Madrid, and more between running ridiculously fast. In the past, he's talked about playing as a "left-sided defensive midfielder" when he was in high school, but now he's seriously talking about his future as a footballer and not just his past. Says the 24-year-old in his autobiography: "Ideally, if I was to play football, I'd sign for my favorite team -- Manchester United. People say it's not realistic but nobody has seen me play so you never know. If Alex Ferguson saw me in one of those charity matches he might think I could replace Ryan Giggs." You might laugh at that last sentence, but considering Sir Alex just bought a player for £7 million sight unseen, picking the next Ryan Giggs out of a charity match could be possible.

amacpher Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 umm... yeah, I think Micheal Jordan already travelled down this road. Yahoo should not be allowed to use the word "seriously" in any of their articles. They have the worst collection of journalists around. They make Goal.com look like the Cambridge Evening News.

TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 yes, playing for ManU is out of his range right now, but really if he can run as fast as he does down the track with a ball at his feet, There would be at least one quality team willing to give him a shot down the wing. Why Not?, what the worst thing that could happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
