CARLOZ TEVEZ lit up Soccer Aid - and re-lit the fuse with Manchester United fans.
The strike legend has a controversial reputation at Old Trafford from his playing days.

And he somehow managed to rile Red Devils' supporters during the sell-out charity match even more than he did two decades ago
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.

"You'll Never Walk Alone" - the signature tune of big rivals Liverpool - boomed around the ground.
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.
Instead he joined fast-rising neighbours Manchester City - for a successful four-year stint.

And although he's long gone from Old Trafford he's not forgotten by fuming fans of United.
However, he walked the walk - and almost did it alone - as he led the World XI's recovery, before Big Zuu 'rapped' up victory with a 20-yard drill.

Admittedly, -drilled' might be a slight exaggeration - as BZ's 20-yard near-post shot should never have beaten England keeper Paddy McGuinness.
But the TV presenter made a mess of it - after inexplicably trying to save it with his legs and ending up in a tangle.
And if McGuinness was honest he should at that stage have pleaded "Take Me Out" - of goal.
However, although it was too late for England, it wasn't too late for United supporters to vent their ire over Tevez - and Liverpool's tune.
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."

Emi Martinez 'pushing for Man Utd move' after Andrea Onana update

Emiliano Martinez continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United whilst Marcus Rashford is ready to return to his boyhood club despite his issues with Ruben Amorim Manchester United's summer has made a lot of noise but so far the only major transfer to take place in the arrival of Matheus Cunha - who joined from Wolves for just over £60million. The Red Devils remain on the hunt for more firepower but look as if they could miss out on Viktor Gyokeres, who would prefer to head elsewhere. The club are keen on Bryan Mbeumo but have had offers rejected as Brentford hold out for their hefty asking price. ‌ A new goalkeeper could also be on Ruben Amorim 's radar after seeing Andre Onana make a number of notable errors. He has been linked with the exit door despite having a desire to prove he can cut in at Old Trafford. ‌ Replacements have been eyed though with World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez cited as a possible summer target. His future has been the subject of speculation, even if Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has dismissed any suggestion he could leave. Here's the latest transfer rumours from the red side of Manchester. Martinez holding out for move Martinez is already sold on the idea of joining United this summer and is said to have rebuffed offers from 'big-hitters' in the hope of pushing through a dream switch to Old Trafford. There has been speculation that Martinez could move on with Villa potentially needing to sell in order to meet Profit and Sustainability Rules. The Sun now claims that Martinez is 'desperate' to push through a move to United despite the fact that the Red Devils are coming off the back of their worst ever Premier League campaign. And it's even been suggested that the Villa star has ignored offers from other top clubs in order to remain available for United. A source told the publication: 'Emi is big pals with Argentina team-mate Lisandro Martinez and is keen to move. He has already knocked back a couple of big hitters in the hope of joining United. Rashford's return plan Marcus Rashford is planning to return to training with United next month if a deal for him to leave the club hasn't been agreed, according to ESPN. The forward spent the last six months out on loan at Aston Villa after being frozen out under Amorim. ‌ No bids have yet been received despite well documented interest in Rashford and, as things stand, the 27-year-old will report back to Carrington to begin his pre-season preparations. It is understood that Amorim is yet to make a decision about whether Rashford and a number of the other fringe players will join the team on their summer tour to the United States. Antony, Alejandro Garnacho or Jadon Sancho all face uncertain futures and may not been included. ‌ Monaco eye two Prem keepers - including Onana Monaco are torn between pursing two Premier League goalkeepers but could yet offer Andre Onana a route out of Manchester after two difficult years. French outlet L'Equipe have claimed that Monaco are looking to add a new shotstopper to their squad. They want to upgrade their current options with Radoslaw Madecki and Philipp Kohn currently on their books. Onana is one player who has been shortlisted along with Chelsea's Djordje Petrovic. Onana has remained the No 1 at Old Trafford, albeit he was dropped briefly last term, whilst Petrovic has slipped down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge as Robert Sanchez established himself as first choice.

Napoli open talks to sign another Man Utd star after Jadon Sancho agreement

Napoli are interested in signing another Manchester United star having enquired into a deal for Rasmus Hojlund. After a woeful second season in Manchester where he managed just four goals in 32 Premier League appearances, United are prepared to listen to offers for the Denmark international and make an upgrade up front ahead of the new campaign. Inter Milan have held talks with their Premier League counterparts in recent weeks over a move to bring the former Atalanta star back to Italy. The Nerazzurri are keen on a loan deal with an option to buy for €45million (£38m) but United are looking for a permanent arrangement. Hojlund is open to a return to Serie A this summer with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting Napoli are now back in the race to sign the 22-year-old. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. The Italian champions have been in contact with United to discuss the costs of the move with Antonio Conte eager for another option up top alongside Romelu Lukaku. Napoli haven also reached out to Hojlund's representatives with those conversations described as 'positive'. The striker is keen to work with Conte and play alongside the likes of Lukaku and summer signing Kevin de Bruyne – not to mention former United teammate Scott McTominay who has been an instant hit in Naples. While Inter are unable to provide the transfer fee United are looking for this summer, Napoli are in a better position to do so following the sale of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in January. Napoli are looking at other options, also holding discussions to sign Darwin Nunez from Liverpool. An asking price of €70m is problematic however, with Hojlund also having the advantage of Serie A experience behind him. United and Napoli have good business relations following McTominay's move last summer with the Italian giants credited with firm interest in another Old Trafford star. More Trending Earlier this week it was revealed the Italian side have made an approach to sign Jadon Sancho, one of a clutch of players who have been told they have no future under Ruben Amorim. After Chelsea decided against signing the former Borussia Dortmund star on a permanent deal, Napoli have emerged as favourites to sign him. Juventus are also keen but Sancho's preference is to join Conte's side, giving the move his approval this week. Napoli have also shown interest in Alejandro Garnacho, seeing a bid for the Argentina international rejected in January. While the winger is another who can leave United this summer, Napoli's interest in his services appears to have waned.

Kevin De Bruyne wants Napoli boss Antonio Conte to reunite him with Jack Grealish in transfer blow to Man Utd star

The England star could link up with a host of ex-Prem players GREA-UNION Kevin De Bruyne wants Napoli boss Antonio Conte to reunite him with Jack Grealish in transfer blow to Man Utd star Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) KEVIN DE BRUYNE wants Napoli boss Antonio Conte to reunite him with Jack Grealish. Conte has been quizzing De Bruyne about his old Manchester City pal, whose future was sealed when he was axed from Pep Guardiola's Club World Cup squad. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Kevin De Bruyne wants Napoli to sign Jack Grealish this summer Credit: Getty 4 The two stars could be reunited in Italy Credit: EPA 4 And the Belgian, 33, who joined the Italians earlier this month, hopes his glowing reference will see Conte also try to land playmaker Grealish. City are willing to take a huge hit on the £100million they paid Aston Villa four years ago. And Grealish, 29, faces a big pay cut as Napoli would pay little more than half of his current £300,000-a-week salary. He will accept that if it gives him a chance of forcing his way back into England boss Thomas Tuchel's World Cup plans. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL REMOVAL VAN Leicester to SACK Van Nistelrooy... but plan to wait weeks to swing axe Everton would love Grealish to be their marquee signing as they begin life in their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock — but the lure from Italy is stronger. SunSport revealed on Monday that Napoli have £45m to spend on Grealish or Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho — but will only buy ONE. Conte's Serie A champs could start their title defence with SIX former Prem stars in their line-up. Scott McTominay's move from Manchester United went so well he was Serie A's Player of the Year. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK He is partnered in the midfield engine room by ex-Chelsea and Brighton midfielder Billy Gilmour. And striker Romelu Lukaku is another former United man on their books. Jack Grealish has gone from eye-catching showman and heartthrob to miserable bench warmer - and I know who's to blame Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing arrived in January, in a move that could become permanent. City would even sanction a loan switch for Grealish — especially if there is a commitment to buy.
