And he somehow managed to rile
The Argentine, 41, came off the bench to hit FOUR goals as the World XI roared back from 3-0 down to snatch a late 5-4 win.
Some United fans were already angry - as they reckoned he should not have been allowed to return on the field at Old Trafford.
And they were even more annoyed when Tevez's dazzling display was accompanied by a surprising choice of tune over the tannoy system.

Tevez was, notoriously, a United player from 2007-09.
But to many fans he soured his stay beyond redemption with a go-or-stay saga - ending when his advisors revealed he no longer wanted to play for Alex Ferguson's team.

One wrote: "Soccer Aid has absolutely rattled me here. Who let Carlos Tevez in the building and who the f*** agreed to play that over the tannoy."
Plenty of fans made the point after the frontman was only halfway through his quadruple haul.
One posted: "Playing you'll never walk alone at old Trafford and Carlos Tevez brace… Jesus" - followed by a laughing emoji.
Another simply stated: "Watched Soccer Aid for 6 minutes and seen Carlos Tevez score a double and you'll never walk alone being played at Old Trafford."

Another joked: "Tevez getting hat-trick and YNWA being played in the stadium, don't think soccer aid will be getting played at Old Trafford anymore."
Others even asked why he was allowed to play there at all.
And one extended that suggestion by writing on X: "Shouldn't be allowed to play you'll never walk alone at Old Trafford even for Soccer Aid."
