Usain Bolt wants Man Utd chance - and Fergie as his agent!

Sprint King Usain Bolt wants the chance to trial for Manchester United.

Bolt wants Sir Alex Ferguson to act as a middle-man (he'll love that!) and set up trials with new United manager David Moyes.

Bolt, 27 in three days' time, said: "I haven't made contact with the new boss at United.

"I'm waiting for Alex to put the meeting together, so he can let him know that Usain is pretty much part of the Manchester United team."

And hinting at a career as a professional footballer once his time terrorising the athletics track ends, Bolt said: "He should just take care of me when it is time to go.

"Football is on the cards when I retire from athletics.

"Hopefully, I can get a few charity matches in before then."
