Legendary Jamaican sprinter, Usain Bolt said his
dream to play for Manchester United is every
much alive.
The world record runner also revealed that he still
run errands for his parents.
The sprinter added that he lives his normal life
and still walk around the streets of Jamaica alone.
The Olympic record breaker was speaking with
Coach Magazine yesterday, where he noted that
Jamaican people have been so great to him.
He said, “It has always been a dream of mine to
play for Manchester United, and it still is a dream.
“I have not spoken with José about it, but I know
he is the right coach for the job. Maybe this
season we can’t win the title, but big players want
to play for Mourinho and I expect more to arrive.
“When I won the Golds in Beijing , I thought: ‘This
is what I’ve been waiting for’. In London, I was
just thinking that I wanted to achieve that again.
“Then before Rio, when people were talking about
the ‘Triple Treble’, I knew if I could achieve that, it
would make me immortal: the greatest ever, never
to be repeated, and I wanted that.
“The Jamaican people? They have been so great
to me, but they still let me live. People don’t
believe that I can walk around Kingston by myself
– but I can.
“They say hello and ask for photos, but they let
me live a normal life even though they are so
proud of me and everything I have achieved.
“My family helped me stay grounded. I have never
been ‘Usain Bolt the Superstar’ to them, I am
always Usain Bolt their little boy.
“If I am home and my mom runs out of milk, she
will send me down to the store to get some. My
gold medals don’t count for anything, and that is
the way I like it.”
