Usain Bolt has a message for David Moyes: stop stressing me out.

The sprinting phenomenon revealed that it isn't athletic competing that causes him the most angst, but watching Manchester United.

And Bolt, who plans to retire after the next Olympics, said he wants to 9.4seconds in the 100 metres in the next year.

'Football stresses me the most. When I’m watching football, especially when my team is not playing good, it stresses me out,' the Jamaican told The Clare Balding Show on BT Sport. 'Manchester United stresses me out every day, even when they win it stresses me out.

'Over the years of watching Man United, Sir Alex Ferguson is a genius, sometimes he does things that don’t make any sense but it works.

'So I know now that David Moyes is in and its going to take a while to warm up to him.'

Bolt played during Rio Ferdinand's testimonial against Sevilla at Old Trafford in August, realising a childhood dream, but it is more track success he has his immediate eyes on.

'For me I always say 9.4 (100m) is possible and the possibility of running in 19 seconds(200m) is what I would love to do,' Bolt added.

'I’m really going to give it a shot this season and see if I can do it.

'This season will be the only chance I get to go after a world record. And so I will be much more dedicated this season in trying to make sure I’m fit, my core work is done, my back is in check.

'So hopefully everything comes together and I can get it done.

'I’m always, always looking around in a race, looking left and right. I’ve never run a race just focusing on myself and running true. That’s one of the things I have to work on this season.
