His girlfriend, Brooke, and his parents all watched on from the stands - but his brother almost didn't make it.
That's because he had his own match to play.
The Daily Mail has revealed that Tate Fredricson decided to play the first 45 minutes of his Sunday League match for Stockport District League side Higher Poynton before completing the late 14-mile dash to Old Trafford.
Tate left with his team 1-0 down at half-time but later found out that Poynton turned it around to win 3-1 after the opposing team went down to eight players.
Although it was a memorable day for the Fredricson family, Man Utd lost 1-0 to Wolves.
Pablo Sarabia scored the decisive goal in the 77th minute with a free kick just outside the United box.
Amorim praised Fredricson for his debut performance after the match.
He said: "Tyler [Fredricson] played really well, also [Harry] Amass played really well and they deserve better.

Shock club joins Tyler Dibling race amid Man Utd and Chelsea links
A surprise contender has emerged in the race to sign Southampton winger Tyler Dibling this summer, with the youngster attracting interest from abroad. It was a disastrous season int he Premier League for the Saints last time round, but Dibling was one of the very few bright sparks. Still just 19 years old, the England Under-21 international caught the eye, scoring four goals in 38 appearances across all competitions. Manchester United and Chelsea have been credited with an interest in the teenager, as have the likes of Tottenham and Bayern Munich. There has not appeared to be much movement, despite that level of interest, and a new challenger has emerged. Portuguese publication Record report that Porto have been impressed by the youngster and are exploring a way of making a deal happen. That will be far from easy for them to do given the enormous asking price Southampton have suggested for Dibling, with the Telegraph reporting that earlier this year that the Saints have quoted an enormous £100m for their star player. That would be extremely ambitious for the now Championship club, but even if they cannot seriously expect £100m for Dibling, they will want a lot of money. Porto are reportedly exploring swap deals or loan arrangements as ways of getting an unlikely deal done. The winger is under contract at St Mary's until 2027 and has not sounded in a rush to leave Southampton in the near future. 'I don't try to think about it and just try and go into train every day and work hard and train the best I can,' he said earlier this year when asked about transfer speculation. 'At the end of the day, I love Southampton. I have been here since I was eight. It's such a great team and I am working to do big things with them.' Dibling has come with rave reviews from Southampton, with his game boasting far much more than his basic goal-scoring stats suggest. Former Southampton Under-21 head coach Adam Asghar told BBC Sport of the teenager: 'He's the most fearless player I've ever worked with. 'He's totally unique to anything I've seen before. He's got raw physicality, pace and power, is an unbelievable ball-carrier and is always impacting games. Former Southampton manager Russell Martin told The Rest is Football of Tyler Dibling… 'He's the most talented player I've ever seen – ever worked with. I worked with James Maddison at that age at Norwich, he was outstanding. 'Tyler has every capability to go and play for England and at a top level for a very long time. 'He's powerful, he's really quick, both feet, can shoot. I worked with Harry Kane and physically the stuff I've seen him do at 18 in the Premier League with people just bouncing off him – he has something I've not seen in a British player in a long time. 'He'll play as a No.8 or a No.10 eventually, but he's 18 so we played him out wide and he was incredible. 'He can play wide, we played him as a false nine in pre-season and he was our best player.' 'In a generation of football where it's very much about limited touches and moving the ball quickly Tyler can move it as quickly by carrying the ball rather than passing it and that's what makes him such a special talent. More Trending 'Every game (with the Under-21s) he would always have four or five moments that would almost take your breath away. 'He is really sure of his ability. He wouldn't be fazed by the opponent or situation, he played with fearlessness.' When Dibling was first linked with Manchester United in December, there was a suggestion the Red Devils were planning to bid £21m for him in January. Russell Martin, who was in charge of Saints at the time, said: 'I was told about some rumours of Manchester United wanting to bid £21m. I'm not sure they'd get his left foot for that.'

It's led to some fears from Gers fans that the midfielder could be poached by another side though, with former boss Philippe Clement suggesting that his old player is ready top join a top-half English Premier League side earlier this month. And Raskin's teammate Dujon Sterling has made his feelings clear that he doesn't want the 24-year-old to leave just yet. The Englishman had posted photos from his off-season holiday in Florida on Instagram. Raskin commented on the post: "My boy." And Sterling replied: "Sign the contract!!!!!" It's not clear whether the club has actually offered Raskin a contract yet, with his current deal still having two years to run. But Gers supporters echoed Sterling's sentiment, replying in the thread with their own messages for the players. One reply to Sterling said: "Get him told son." Another fan said to Raskin: "Better stay Nico." Rangers boss Barry Ferguson reveals why he's 'had a few arguments' with Ibrox ace Nicolas Raskin A third said: "You better be staying wee man."

The World XI, previously known as the Rest of the World, boasts a superior head-to-head record. The World XI have triumphed over England seven times compared to England's six victories.

Following the 2024 event at Stamford Bridge, another legendary Premier League stadium will play host to Soccer Aid as it makes a return to Old Trafford in Manchester. Manchester United's home ground has previously hosted the event in 2006, from 2010 to 2018, and then again in 2020 and 2023. The stadium boasts a seating capacity of nearly 75,000.

One celebrity rivalry that won't be rekindled is reality TV's Sam Thompson and singer Louis Tomlinson. The One Direction heartthrob is dating Thompson's ex-girlfriend, Zara McDermott from Love Island.

I'm really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney. Tyson Fury's the manager. I can't wait." In another light-hearted dig, Wicks replied: "'I mean that's gonna be f****** amazing. Make sure you get him (Fury) on side, though, because you may need him in your corner in case you fall out with anyone. Not that you will but just in case there's any rivalries or anything. All sorts gets brought up." Meanwhile, Thompson has already been busy raising money for UNICEF. He delivered the match ball from Stamford Bridge in London to Old Trafford in Manchester, raising more than £1.5m in the process. Article continues below Who won at Soccer Aid in 2024?

In the second half, Bartlett claimed his first goal and was later named Player of the Match, while Jermain Defoe added another to the tally. Bartlett wasn't finished, netting his second and bringing the score to 5-2, until Billy Wingrove scored from the spot for the World XI. Theo Walcott sealed the deal with a final goal, setting England's sights on equalling the overall record this time around.
