Bolt in talks with Ferguson... but about what?


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.

Usain Bolt has never made any secret of his desire to play football for Manchester United, and his far-fetched dream seemingly moved a step closer as he spent Saturday at Old Trafford.
