Bolt backs Fellaini

   

Usain Bolt has called for Manchester United fans to get behind Marouane Fellaini when he puts on a red shirt at Old Trafford.

The 100m and 200m world record holder, a self-confessed United fan, held up a Belgium national team shirt with Fellaini on the back.

It comes three days after he demanded David Moyes made a move in the transfer window.

“Dave Moyes, we need a creative midfielder, one that can pass and create opportunities, right now,” he said.

“More control. Serious face.”

But now with the acquisition of Fellaini, perhaps Bolt will be appeased for the foreseeable future when it comes to football.

He made unexpected comments on Wednesday suggesting that he would  retire after the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

“If I’m in great shape and I go there and do what I have to do, I think it would be a good time to retire on top and having dominated for so long,” Bolt said.

“I couldn’t find that goal, that drive to get going again. I sat down and thought to myself: what do I really want? And what can I do in this sport some more?” he added.

“I’ve made up my mind that if I want to be among the greats of Ali, Pele and all these guys I have to continue dominating until I retire.”
