Triple-gold medallist at the London Olympics, Usain Bolt has indicated a deep desire to help Manchester United in the coming season, irrespective of whether his contribution is as a player or otherwise.

The Jamaican, who won the 100 metres, 200 metres and the 4x100 metres Gold Medals over the last week, has publicly stated his desire on a number of occasions to join the Red Devils on a trial.

The self-professed United fan even had a discussion on Twitter with the club's centre-half Rio Ferdinand over a chance to play at Old Trafford, but insisted again that he was ready to help the club even if Sir Alex Ferguson did not find him good enough to be given a chance to play at Old Trafford.

"I don't know if Alex Ferguson will offer me a trial or not," Bolt told the Sun. "But even if it doesn't happen I would like to come and help coach the attacking players at United like I did with Ronaldo - anything I can do to make sure the title does not end up with Manchester City again."

Bolt, who had helped Ronaldo with his running technique three years back, suggested that the likes of Nani, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young would see a similar improvement in their game if they came under his tutelage.

"You see guys like Nani and Ashley Young who are so fast and skilful, but they get pushed off the ball like Ronaldo used to," he explained. "United have so many players with pace that if they all perfect their sprinting technique it will be impossible to play against them."

The Jamaican was at his cocky best as well, insisting that 2008 Ballon D'Or winner Ronaldo would not have been the player he is now, if it wasn't for Bolt's helping hand.
