Usain Bolt has accomplished much more then your average twenty four year old. The record breaking Jamaican sprinter is not only an Olympic gold medalists, but by many sports critics accounts he is the best athlete in the entire world.
And the physical specimen recently admitted that he would love to tryout for another sport other then track and field. And sports franchise owners all around the world are all licking their chops at the thought of landing the 6″5 burner.
Imagine if Bolt played wide receiver in the NFL. Who could cover the fastest man alive? And if Bolt learned to dribble a basketball would he not make an unstoppable point guard? And in baseball put Bolt in center field and see if anything drops in.
But Bolt has his sights set on another sport and if you are a regular reader of this website you can probably guess which one. Bolt’s dream sports job would be playing European football with Manchester United.
The world’s fastest man recently made the following statement regarding his desire to one day play in the EPL for Fergie’s squad:
Ideally, if I was to play football, I’d sign for my favorite team — Manchester United. People say it’s not realistic but nobody has seen me play so you never know. If Alex Ferguson saw me in one of those charity matches he might think I could replace Ryan Giggs.
An interesting proclamation considering the gold medalists isn’t joking. In fact those that our close to the freakish athlete claim that the Jamaican is completely serious about one day making the transition to the EPL. And to replace Giggs is quite the stretch considering the old man is the perfect model for consistency and has played for the Red Devils since he was five years old (not actually true).
But Bolt claims he would love the chance to tryout and he believes his football skills are a bit underrated. The sprinter claims that he can forsee himself as a left defensive back and although Bolt has the size to play defense i think his speed would be better utilized out on the wing or at the striker position.
But you never do know what could happen down the road and as Isaid before any owner of any sports franchise would certainly consider the acquisition of the burner. But replacing Giggs is probably a bit of a pipe dream.
After all Giggsey still has at least twenty years left in him before he hangs up the boots.
