Bolt – who has eight Olympic Gold medals – retired after the World Athletics Championships in London earlier this month.
He pulled up in the 4x100m relay.
The lifelong Red Devils fans was hoping he would be able to recover from his hamstring injury in time to be able to take part n Manchester United's legends match against Barcelona next month.
But then he revealed he faces three months of rehabilitation to fix a hamstring tear.
Bolt shared a scan of his world record-holding leg showing the tear.
"Sadly I have tear of the proximal myotendinous junction of biceps femoris in my left hamstring with partial retraction. 3 months rehab," he posted on Twitter, before deleting the post.
Bolt continued, refuting any suggestion he had not truly been injured at the World Championships.
He added: "I don't usually release my medical report to the public but sadly I have sat and listened to people questioning if I was really injured.
"I have never been one to cheat my fans in anyway & my entire desire at the championship was run one last time for my fans.
"Thanks for the continued support my fans and I rest, heal and move onto the next chapter of my life #Love&LoveAlone."
