There are motivational messages and then there are motivational messages from the fastest man on the planet.
In a sport consumed by an obsession with the most marginal gains, it seems even supportive messages need to be more impressive than those received by your rivals. Manchester United are set to welcome West Ham Women to the Theatre of Dreams on Saturday evening, and Jamaican sprinter and long-time United fan Usain Bolt has sent the team some fiery words of encouragement.
“Hey ladies, it’s Usain here," he said. "You know I’m a massive supporter of United and I hear you guys are playing West Ham this Saturday, so I’m very excited. I just want to wish you all the best. I’ll be watching, I’ll be cheering on, so go out there and win, because that’s what we do. Let’s go!”
