Usain Bolt wants to play for Manchester United in the English Premier League.

The 100 metre London 2012 Olympics gold medallist told a British newspaper he wants to play and he wasn’t joking.

"People think I am joking, but if Alex Ferguson called me up and said, 'OK let's do this, come and have a trial,' it would be impossible for me to say no," Bolt told the Sun on Monday. "I would not take up the challenge if I didn't think I was good enough. I am a very accomplished player and know I could make a difference."

United player Rio Ferdinande has responded, tweeting Bolt: "if you want that trial at Man Utd shout me, I'll speak to the boss!! Well done in 100m, waiting for you to smash the 200m now!"

Bolt replied: "After the Olympics we work on that...lol..thanks man".
