OLYMPIC champ Usain Bolt is being lined up to play for Manchester United against Real Madrid.
The sprint king � who is a huge Red Devils fan � could appear in a glittering friendly next season.
Bolt, 25, was guest of honour at United�s first home game of the season against Fulham, when fans cheekily urged boss Sir Alex Ferguson to �sign him up�.
Now Ferguson, 70, has hinted he could make the Jamaican�s lifelong ambition come true.
He told Inside United magazine: �Usain�s a character and a big United fan.
�But it�s interesting he says he�d like to play in a charity game. It could be brilliant, and next year when we play Real Madrid�s Legends again, there could be opportunities to bring him up and see how he does.�
Just last month, Bolt told The Sun he would happily quit athletics for a spot in the United squad.
Fergie also revealed how he cashed in after backing Bolt to win the 100m and 200m at the London Games.
He said: �I must thank him because that was my biggest bet. Bolt was 4/5 to win each of them a week before the Olympics started. It was a brilliant bet.�
Ferguson added: �I watched all the Olympics. For us to get 29 gold medals was terrific. It was probably the most uplifting thing that�s happened in Britain for a long, long time.�
