Chris Gayle is a big moment player. Be it in Twenty20 cricket or on social media, the dashing Jamaican left-handed batsman has always been in the news. However, Gayle recently made news when he paid a visit to a stadium which hosts one of the best football clubs in the world.
On his Instagram account (@chrisgayle333), Gayle shared details on his latest visit to Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United football team. However, the buzz that got the attention of all football fans was the post in which he said, "Meeting went well with the new manager...once I get my terms then I will sign with @manchesterunited"
Gayle went on to display his football skills and displayed a Manchester United jersey which had Universe Boss entitled on the back with the number 333.
The reference to the Universe Boss came when West Indies Twenty20 skipper Darren Sammy had said that Gayle was unfairly treated.
Currently, Gayle is in England playing for Somerset in the Natwest Twenty20 blast. In two matches, he has only managed 54 runs with a highest of 49 against Essex in Taunton. The left-hander had blasted 76 off 38 balls in the 2016 Indian Premier League but it was not enough as his team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight runs.
Manchester United are also entering a new era after Jose Mourinho took charge of the club following the departure of Louis van Gaal. The club had a poor 2015/16 season, finishing fifth in the Premier League but winning the FA Cup.
