Usain Bolt claims his football dream is being backed by Paul Pogba and Raheem Sterling, with Manchester rivals at United and City believing he can make the grade.
The Jamaican sprinter has struggled to convince since swapping track for field, with questions asked of his ability to make the transition from athletics superstar to competitive footballer.
He has spent time training with various clubs, with Australian outfit the Central Coast Mariners going as far as tabling terms.
Bolt claims to have “a lot of offers” on the table as he considers his next move, but he has also been forced to respond to accusations from former Republic of Ireland striker Andy Keogh that he has a touch “like a trampoline”.
