Usain Bolt takes credit for United's
victory at Wigan
The current world record holder for the 100m and 200m,
Usain Bolt, reportedly called Manchester United boss Sir Alex
Ferguson on the eve of their Premier League clash with Wigan
Athletic a few weeks ago, in order to ensure the Champions got back
on track, following their humbling defeat to Burnley.
The World’s fastest man is an avid Manchester United fan, and
has previously visited the squad at Carrington, but his influence
over the side appears to know no bounds.
Bolt told BBC Sport: “I made a call to Alex telling him that
losing is not an option because I’ve been winning and he just
talked to the guys to let them know to get it done.”
“First of all I would like to say thank you guys for winning.”
“I’m really happy right now, it’s going to be a wonderful night
for me.”
Bolt, who recently won double gold at the World Athletics
Championships to go with his double Olympic gold in Beijing, also
praised the increasingly influential Wayne
Rooney.
Bolt continued: “Wayne Rooney’s a great guy, he’s going to lead
us to the championship this year for sure.”
“He’s the leader his year and I think he’s going to do a
wonderful job definitely”
