Watch: Usain Bolt calls MUTV, hosts don't believe him
Manchester United's fastest supporter graced the team's postgame show following Saturday's dramatic win.
Nine-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt made a surprise appearance on Manchester United TV to offer his thoughts on the team's 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough.
A win that felt so good even @UsainBolt felt compelled to ring #MUTVHD! #MUFC pic.twitter.com/5KDeJuLWI4

"They really came through, as if it was the old Manchester United," Bolt said, comparing the latest performance to the type of late heroics that became famous under former manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Unfortunately, the show's host, Mandy Henry, didn't believe Bolt when he introduced himself and quickly moved on to the next caller afterward.
So, the world's fastest man cleared the air via Twitter:
Come on lad of course it was me on @ManUtd TV just now

Sorry Usain - we didn't think it was you! Enjoy your celebrations in Jamaica & call again after West Ham on Monday night! https://t.co/64hfB6l5Gk
