Ardent Manchester United fan, Usain Bolt has confirmed he will run the 100m and 4x100m relay at the World Championships in London in August, his final event before retiring.
"My aim is to win in London. I want to retire on a winning note," the Jamaican 30-year-old said on Wednesday.
Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medallist and an icon of world sport had once told Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho last May when the transfer window was declared open to forget about signing Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann this summer and concentrate his efforts on Alexis Sanchez.
‘I know Alexis plays for Arsenal – which he shouldn’t! Bolt told FoxSports.
‘He would be great [for Manchester United].
‘I think he is a player that I’ve always said over the years we need someone who is capable of picking the ball up and creating chances for other people. He’s proven himself to be one of the best.’
The World Championships will take place from 4-13 August which is the final event to herald the great Olympian's retirement.
