'I thanked him for bringing Cristiano back': Olympic legend Usain Bolt reveals chat with Sir Alex Ferguson after dramatic Ronaldo winner sealed Man United win over Villarreal

Olympic legend Usain Bolt reserved a special word of thanks for legendary former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, when he met the Scotsman at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

Bolt was among the crowd as United took on Villarreal in the second Champions League group stage match, and watched on tensely as the Red Devils looked to be on course to dropping crucial points in the competition.

It was only for a last gasp intervention from none other than Cristiano Ronaldo that United took maximum points from the clash, and an ecstatic Bolt has revealed he immediately sought to thank Ferguson for helping bring the club icon back.
