Bolt secures trial with Dortmund
Sprint legend Usain Bolt said Sunday that he hopes to still see his dream of becoming a professional footballer come true when he undergoes a trial at German top-flight club Borussia Dortmund.
However, the multiple Olympic and world champion admitted that he would prefer to play for Manchester United, his favourite team.
"In March we're going to do a trial with Dortmund and that will determine what I do with that career, which way it goes," the 31-year-old world record holder told the Sunday Express.
"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."
Bolt shares the same sponsor -- Puma -- as Dortmund and the trial with the Bundesliga team has been arranged by the sportswear company.
