Bolt, 40, is a huge football fan and, after retiring following the World Championships in 2017, he attempted a professional career in the sport, briefly playing for Australian side Central Coast Mariners.
The Manchester United supporter has also been a regular participant in the Soccer Aid charity matches over the last decade.
Wythenshawe, who have yet to announce Bolt’s signing, have been contacted for comment.
