SIR Alex Ferguson is ready to let Usain Bolt loose on Real Madrid. A lifelong Manchester United fan, Bolt told the Old Trafford crowd at a match after his triple Olympic gold medal-winning exploits in London that they needed to persuade Ferguson to sign him.

That is clearly not going to happen but Ferguson said: “It’s interesting he says he would 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 in and see how he does.”
