USAIN Bolt has made no secret of his support for Manchester United but fans would have been puzzled to see him wearing an Arsenal shirt on Thursday morning.
Fortunately for Red Devils supporters, the Jamaican sprinter was only donning the Gunners home kit as part of a bet.
Bolt paid the price for United’s 3-0 hammering by Arsene Wenger’s side on Sunday after agreeing to a bet with Mexican television presenter Patty Lopez de la Cerda.
The 29-year-old took to Instagram to post the video of him wearing the Arsenal kit alongside Lopez de la Cerda.
And keen to remind fans of his record-breaking exploits, Bolt wore his name and his time of 9,58 seconds — which is the 100 metres world record — on the back of his shirt.
He captioned the post: “So i lost a bet with @pattylopezdelac that man untied would win but they didn’t so I have to pay up on my bet so sorry guys. #nothappy #seriousface (sic).”
Bolt also revealed he has to pay the television presenter but it remains unknown how deep he will have to dig into his pockets.
Meanwhile, Bolt has reaffirmed his decision to make next summer’s Olympics in Rio his last by revealing that he plans to retire after the 2017 World Championships.
Bolt, speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, said of his desire to hang up his spikes: “I start training for the Olympics next Monday (12 October). It will be my last Olympics.
“I should have one more World Championship but I’m not too sure what I want to do (after retiring). Some people say I should try acting but I think I will stay in sport and figure out what I can do.” — AFP
