A video was posted in December last year of Bolt in action at the stadium of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, who compete in the sixth tier of French football.

Bolt looks the part at first, with a couple of deft touches with his left foot.

But he clearly left his finishing boots at home with two golden chances going begging.

The first shows the sprint star heading a good chance wide when a cross came in from the right.

And the second isn't much better as he scuffs a left-footed shot wide after being through one-on-one.

Express Sport today revealed the full extent of Bolt's plans to complete a stunning cross-sport career switch to PLAY for Manchester United.

And he's already held talks with Sir Alex Ferguson, now a director of the club, and his good friend Paul Pogba to make it happen.

Bolt, who tore his hamstring in his last ever race, said: "The injury is now fine and I'm back fully fit.

"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.

"It makes me nervous. 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,

"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 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."

Bolt is a massive Manchester United fan and insists his desire to make it as a footballer is no pipe dream.

He has discussed how to make a cross-sport switch happen with his Pogba and vowed to make it at one of the world's biggest clubs.

"I do think I have a chance. I watch a lot of football, I understand it, I play it. With training, I could be good," Bolt said with all the confidence and swagger seen throughout his career as a sprinter.

"Me and Pogba talk a lot. I watch and ask him a lot of questions. I want to play but it has to be in the top league. I'm not content to be average."

Usain Bolt was speaking to Express Sport at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. Established in 2004, it has quickly become one of the major annual events on the world's poker map where the top players from North America and beyond meet with various celebrities and poker aficionados from all corners of the world, including first-time qualifiers who all get to experience the unique atmosphere in a stellar poker event held on the famous Paradise Island.
