Paul Pogba channels Usain Bolt in race along the Great Wall of China

Manchester United midfielder does his best impression of the Olympic sprinting legend along the famous landmark

Manchester United fan Usain Bolt has often fancied himself quite the soccer player, but this time it was Paul Pogba who channelled the fastest man on the planet in a foot race along the Great Wall of China.

The United midfielder tagged Bolt’s username in a video posted to his Twitter and Instagram accounts showing him doing his best imitation of the Olympic sprinting legend on the track.

Pogba is currently on a promotional tour and holiday in China and Hong Kong, having already visited his former Juventus teammate Carlos Tevez, who is now playing for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League.

Though it looks like he may need to work on his fitness a bit more with United’s pre-season tour to the United States starting on July 15, having looked fairly exhausted at the end of this friendly sprint.

The Frenchman did manage, however, to get a ‘like’ on social media out of Jamaican Bolt, who jokingly called on United’s former manager Sir Alex Ferguson to give him a trial at the club after winning 100 metres, 200m and 4x100m gold at the 2012 London Olympics.

And, of course, no trip to a famous world landmark would be complete for Pogba without a trademark ‘dab’ celebration.
