BEST PHONE-IN CAMEO FROM AN OLYMPIAN
Manchester United have just fought back to snatch a home win against Middlesbrough with two late goals securing three points for Jose Mourinho’s team.
Their fans are naturally chuffed, and many are queuing up to air their elation on MUTV’S post-match phone-in.
“Our next caller is in Jamaica,” says host Mandy Henry. “We’re heading there to speak to Usain – it’s not Usain Bolt is it?” she smirks.
“It is!” comes the reply. Guests Lou Macari and Gordon Mcqueen don’t look convinced.
“The ref was reffing the game very badly but they pushed on, persevered,” the caller adds.
Clearly not buying the claim that the man on the line is the Olympic legend, Henry asks how the fan intends to celebrate the New Year.
“Just home, a few fireworks,” he says, a tad taken aback by the bizarre turn in questioning.
Henry then wraps up: “Very nice, Usain, very nice. Well, you enjoy it. Thanks for phoning in.”
Soon after, Bolt tweeted: “Come on lads, of course it was me on MUTV just now.”
At least they bagged that fireworks scoop.
