From the talk of potentially fighting relegation to bold predictions galore, things have changed quickly at Manchester United after two good results and Usain Bolt is ready to get carried away.
A draw at Anfield followed by a win on penalties at Arsenal to progress in the FA Cup has provided renewed hope and optimism to a fanbase starved of it.
A vocal part of the fanbase, Usain Bolt, dropped a bold United prediction after Liverpool draw and he has now doubled down on it after the Arsenal game.
Due to the context of the game, with referee decisions favouring Arsenal, this arguably ended up being a tougher game for United, and the gravity of the United performance wasn’t lost on Bolt.

Usain Bolt reacts to Man Utd’s FA Cup win
At United, you are only ever as good as the last result and the players plus the manager are probably getting a first-hand taste of that phenomenon at play.
Two weeks ago, the team wasn’t good enough and needed a full rebuild. The system was shaky, Ruben Amorim was stubborn, and the owners were clueless and making the wrong decisions.
Fast forward two games and the narrative has flipped completely, with the Man Utd squad showing plenty of potential if they turn up for games.
That is exactly what Bolt said after the Arsenal game, praising the team’s fighting spirit and hoping for glory in the future.
Bolt wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “I’ll say it again…once Man Utd continue to play with this fighting spirit we will win the league.”
Consistency is the next challenge for Ruben Amorim
Bolt alludes to it in his team and his thoughts echo the sentiment of Amorim as well, who has been looking for more consistency from his players.
It can be argued that the biggest test for United will come in their next game, where they will have to keep up this standard of play against Premier League’s bottom side, Southampton at home.

Those are the kinds of games United have made a habit of slipping for while taking out giants of the game in their own backyard.
Matching the level of the opposition, for good or for bad, is never a sign of a champion team, one that Bolt is convinced will happen in the future.
A home game against the worst side in the Premier League has never felt more important…
