Usain Bolt at Manchester United's Old Trafford grounds
Jamaican record breaking sprinter and gold medalist, Usain
Bolt, was treated like a king in England as "Guest of Honour" at Manchester
United F.C.'s Old Trafford grounds. He was presented with a Man U football
shirt customized with his name. Bolt must have been over the moon, as
Manchester United is his favorite football team and it is his dream to play
for them.

An elated Bolt got to meet the club's manager, Sir Alex
Ferguson, who he is a fan of. Bolt also took pics with Man U footballers
Ryan Giggs and recent transfer, former Arsenal F.C. player, Robin van
Persie.
As a Jamaican Arsenal F.C.
fan, this was a double whammy for me. The sight of Bolt and van Persie on
Man U grounds nearly made my brain short circuit (LOL).

As stated above, Bolt has expressed an interest in playing professional football. My dad, who used to
play football professionally for Jamaica said he saw Bolt play football and
the sprinter scored "a solid goal." However, even though he has
nothing to prove in his track and field career, after outstanding
performances in the Beijing and London Olympics, one bad tackle in football
could jeopardize his sprint career. Bolt has expressed a desire to
participate in the 2016 Rio Olympics and the Judiciary Report is rooting
for him that he will be able to do so. God bless.
