Lighting Bolt helps keep United on track

Sprint king Usain Bolt provided the inspiration for Manchester United’s Premier League win over Fulham yesterday according to the charismatic Jamaican.

Bolt was guest of honour at Old Trafford and received a reception almost as warm as those reserved for new-boys Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa.

A lifelong United fan, Bolt urged fans to persuade Ferguson to sign him and believes he played his part in the success: “I shook their hands before they went on the field so I guess I was a good luck charm.”
