United fan Bolt ´disappointed´ by Ronaldo move

Cristiano Ronaldo’s high-profile transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid left the world’s fastest man, an avid fan of the English giants, “disappointed”.

But Jamaican Usain Bolt, who won Olympic gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay in record times in Beijing last summer, insisted he had faith in United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

“I’m a bit disappointed he left the club because he’s definitely a great player,” Bolt said of Ronaldo, the Portuguese international winger who joined Real for 94 million euros.

“I like watching him play because he’s very skilful. But I’m not worried. We have a great side still at Manchester United and I think we’ll do well this season.

“We had a solid team last season and we just lost two players. As long as our midfield is strong, I’m not worried.”

Bolt added: “Alex Ferguson is a very good manager so I am looking forward to this season. Go, Manchester!”
