MANCHESTER UNITED fan Usain Bolt was at Old Trafford for Sunday’s dramatic FA Cup win over Fulham.
And the eight-time Olympic gold medallist even managed to correctly predict the scoreline for the game.

Bolt, 36, reposted a clip to Twitter after the game of his pre-match prediction from Manchester United’s Instagram account.
In the video ahead of the FA Cup quarter-final encounter, he said after being asked what the score will be: “I think it’s going to finish 3-1.”
And sure enough the reigning 100m and 200m world record holder was spot on with his prediction.
He captioned the video of his pre-match prediction “told you” with a winking emoji.
A 96th minute strike from Bruno Fernandes ensured Bolt was spot on with his pre-match forecast.
Visitors Fulham had initially taken the lead through Aleksandar Mitrovic.
But the Red Devils hit back through a Fernandes penalty after Willian was sent off for a handball on the line.
Referee Chris Kavanagh initially didn’t give a spot-kick but overturned his decision after consulting the VAR monitor.
He sent off Fulham boss Marco Silva during the check, before Willian was dismissed for the handball, and Mitrovic was also given his marching orders for barging ref Kavanagh in a chaotic 40 seconds.
Marcel Sabitzer then scored his first United goal to put the Red Devils ahead before Fernandes wrapped things up in injury time.
The stoppage time goal set up an FA Cup semi-final meeting against Brighton at Wembley next month, and also ensured Bolt’s pre-match prediction came true.
Olympic hero Bolt met current United gaffer Erik ten Hag and legendary former manager Sir Alex Ferguson during his visit to the Theatre of Dreams.
The Jamaican star will be back at Old Trafford in June for Soccer Aid as captain of World XI.
Meanwhile Queen of the Jungle and Lionesses legend Jill Scott will skipper the England XI.
