Usain Bolt, Manchester United fan, will make his footballing debut at Old Trafford.
Bolt, the fastest man on the planet, will captain the 'Rest of the World' XI against Robbie Williams' 'England' side on Sunday, June 10 in for Unicef's soccer aid.
Soccer Aid has previously featured such footballing luminaries as Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane and Peter Schmeichel, along with celebs such as Will Ferrell, Woody Harrelson and James McAvoy. “It is my dream to make it as a professional footballer, so to be able to step out onto the pitch at Old Trafford in June, and play against some of football’s biggest legends is going to be remarkable," he told United's official website.
"I enjoy the thrill of competition in front of a crowd, so Robbie and his England team better watch out as I won’t be going easy on them! "I’ve got a pretty special celebration planned for when I score, by the way. "My team is going to be unbeatable – and Soccer Aid for Unicef is counting on your support to make a difference to thousands of children around the world. Come and join in the fun!”
Excited to announce that I will be playing in @socceraid for @UNICEF_uk 2018 at Old Trafford on Sunday 10th June. Make sure you're ready @robbiewilliams! pic.twitter.com/t2sDB1iLP8

The former Jamaican sprinter, who has won eight Olympic gold medals in his illustrious career, has always been outspoken of his desire to play football. He had raised a lot of suspense after he took to Twitter to confirm that he is all set to switch from track to field a couple of days ago.
Posting a short 10-second video of himself, Bolt had revealed that he would reveal the name of the club on Tuesday. "I've just signed for a football team! Find out for who it is one this Tuesday, February 27," Bolt said in the video posted on Twitter.
Bolt, who is a lifelong Manchester United fan, had earlier this year confirmed that he is due to have a trial with Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in March.
