Olympic sprint legend Usain Bolt is set to train with Borussia Dortmund as he pursues a career in football following his track retirement.

In an interview with The Guardian, the nine-time Olympic Gold medal winner said that he has been in touch with Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel and will train with the German club to “see what happens.”

"We've genuinely been talking to people," Bolt said.

The 30-year old Manchester United fan has always dreamed of playing for Jose Mourinho's United in the Premier League.

"For me, if I could get to play for Manchester United, that would be like a dream come true," he said. "Yes, that would be epic."

Bolt has on several occasions expressed his desire to be invited for a trial at Old Trafford and believes he could make the grade as a professional footballer.
