<\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/p>\n Jan 10, 2018:\u00a0 Eight-time Olympic gold medalist, Usain Bolt has revealed he’s set to have a trial with German club, Borussia Dortmund as he looks to launch a football career after retiring from sprint racing.<\/p>\n The Jamaican 100m and 200m world record holder who is the fastest man on earth and a die-hard fan of Manchester United told the Daily Express.<\/p>\n “In March, we’re going to do a trials with Dortmund and that will determine what I do with that career, which way it goes. If they say I’m good, and that I need a bit of training, I’ll do it.”<\/p>\n ‘It makes me nervous,” he said. “I don’t get nervous but this is different, this is football now. It’ll take time to adjust but once I play a few times I’ll get used to it. It was the same when I started track and field. I was nervous for a while until I started getting used to the crowd, people and everyone around and it falls into place.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 31-year-old who retired from sprint after the World Championships in London last August, also admitted that one of his biggest dreams is to sign for Manchester United.<\/p>\n “One of my biggest dreams is to sign for Manchester United. If Dortmund say I’m good enough, I’ll crack on and train hard. I’ve spoken to [former United manager Sir] Alex Ferguson and I told him he needs to put in a good word. He told me if I get fit and ready, he will see what he can do.”<\/p>\n If his trial is successful, Bolt could form a formidable fast strike partnership with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, if he can convince coach Peter St\u00f6ger enough in March.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
