Rashford could beat Bolt in a 20-yard sprint with his burst of speed, according to the legendary sprinter himself.
Bolt praised Rashford’s acceleration but mentioned he would leave the footballer in the dust over 100-200 meters.
Despite not being among the fastest Premier League players, Rashford’s acceleration is acknowledged by Bolt and fans alike.
Former Olympic gold medalist and potentially one of the most famous athletes of all time, Usain Bolt, name-dropped Manchester United and England ace Marcus Rashford as the only footballer who could beat him in a 20-yard sprint when talking to former Premier League striker-turned-pundit Darren Bent.
Whatever fans can say about the Englishman’s output in front of goal, or his inconsistency for the Old Trafford-based outfit, what cannot be disregarded is his lightning pace, which we have seen time and time again since he emerged as the posterboy of Manchester United.
A life-long Manchester United fan, Bolt actually attempted to become a professional footballer upon hanging up the spikes. He trained with Norwegian side Stromsgodset and later Central Coast Mariners, scoring a duo of strikes for the Australian outfit in a friendly.
