“We will do a test in March at Dortmund to find out what I’m going to do with this [footballer] career, and if they say I’m good and need to train, I’ll do it.” Bolt said.
“It makes me nervous. Normally, I’m not nervous, but it’s different, because it is football now, I’ll take some time to adapt, but once I’ve played a few games I’ll be used to it.
“One of my biggest dreams is to sign for Manchester United, and if Dortmund says I’m good enough, I’ll hang in there and train hard.
“I spoke with Alex Ferguson and asked him to put in a favorable word for me and he told me that if I was fit and ready, he would see what he could do for me.” he added.
