Asked whether he had been approached by the Manchester United boss, Bolt joked: "Hopefully, not yet. Hopefully he'll call me and see what's going on. I'm really excited about that."
Speaking about his plans to retire from the track at next year's World Championships in London next year, he said: "It's big. London is a place where I get a lot of love. It's the right place for me to retire."
'I Am Bolt' follows the peaks and the pits of the athlete's career, from his first race up to his 'triple triple' Rio de Janeiro victory. Fans will get a deeper look into the the setbacks behind Bolt's unrivalled success.
Directors Benjamin Turner and Gabe Turner both relished working with Bolt.
"It was great fun," said Benjamin Turner. "He was amazing to hang out with - we got to do some amazing things."
Gabe turner added: "We were told very early that if we tried to work with him as a work colleague, it's not going to fly. It was one of those jobs where we'd say to our wives 'we're going to Jamaica to hang out for a couple of weeks'. It was joyous."
