Manchester United fans must be used to missing out on big-name signings.
From Cristiano Ronaldo’s supposed return to Old Trafford to a shock move for Brazilian superstar Neymar, United are hoping to lure a marquee name sooner rather than later.
But now they have to get used to missing out on big-name fans too.
One man who won’t be joining their ranks is the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt. At least not until Louis van Gaal leaves.
MANCHESTER UNITED FOR LIFE. WE CAN DO IT.
— Usain St. Leo Bolt (@usainbolt) April 7, 2010
Bolt is a long-time United fan and has made no secret of his desire to pull on the famous red jersey, but when quizzed about the issue at the Jamaican Sportsman of the Year awards, the sprinter said:
“Well, looking at how Van Gaal is, I don’t think I would ever want to be coached by him so I think I will put that on pause until we get a new coach.”
It’s hardly a surprise that the speedy Bolt has no desire to play in a team whose play is as slow as Van Gaal’s, but you have to imagine he’d jump at the chance if they ever actually came calling.
We’re not entirely sure where Bolt – who can run 100 metres in 9.58 seconds – would fit into the Dutchman’s soil-creep slow tactical approach.
