Rio 2016: Pogba devises plan to beat sprint king Bolt

Manchester United's Paul Pogba has devised a cunning plan to beat three-time 100 metre Olympic champion Usain Bolt in a race - a motorbike!

Bolt cemented his place in the history books in Rio on Sunday as he claimed a third successive gold medal in the 100m final, beating rival Justin Gatlin by eight hundredths of a second.

Bolt's rivals on the track have been unable to beat him on the world's biggest stage for the past three Games but Pogba - the world's most expensive footballer - believes he can do it.

The Frenchman took to Twitter to congratulate Bolt, and posted a picture of his plan to end the United fan's dominance.

Pogba is expected to make his United debut against Southampton on Friday, after being suspended for the 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday.
