Sprint legend Usain Bolt said that he hopes to still see his dream of becoming a professional footballer come true when he undergoes a trial at German top- flight club Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
However, the multiple Olympic and world champion admitted that he would prefer to play for Manchester United, his favourite team.<\/p>\n
“In March we’re going to do a trial with Dortmund and that will determine what I do with that career, which way it goes,” the 31-year-old world record holder told the Sunday Express. “If they say I’m good, and that I need a bit of training, I’ll do it.<\/p>\n
“It makes me nervous. I don’t get nervous but this is different, this is football now. It’ll take time to adjust but once I play a few times I’ll get used to it.”<\/p>\n
Bolt shares the same sponsor — Puma — as Dortmund and the trial with the Bundesliga team has been arranged by the sportswear company.<\/p>\n
“One of my biggest dreams is to sign for Manchester United. If Dortmund say I’m good enough, I’ll crack on and train hard,” said Bolt.<\/p>\n
“I’ve spoken to (former United manager) Alex Ferguson and I told him he needs to put in a good word. He told me if I get fit and ready, he will see what he can do.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
