Carlos Tevez needs just TEN MINUTES to score more Old Trafford goals in 2025 than Man Utd flops Hojlund and Zirkzee
MANCHESTER UNITED nemesis Carlos Tevez needed just 10 minutes to score more goals at Old Trafford this year than flops Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. The Argentine antagonist played the role of arch-villain as he climbed off the bench to help a 5 Carlos Tevez needed just 10 minutes to score more Old Trafford goals in 2025 than Rasmus Hojlund Credit: Getty 5 Tevez ended up netting four goals as World XI beat England at Soccer Aid Credit: Reuters Wayne Rooney and Co stormed into a 3-0 lead at the Theatre of Dreams, with the result seemingly beyond doubt as incredible fans raised £15million in donations. But having come on at half-time, Wazza's former The 41-year-old, who infamously left the Red Devils for rivals Manchester City in 2009, scored two goals in as many minutes to drag the World XI back into the game. England then went 4-2 up thanks to Jerman Defoe's second effort of the night. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL But Tevez scrapped to help himself to a second brace, taking his tally to four goals and levelling the scoreline at 4-4. Big Zuu then stepped up to net a dramatic winner for the World XI after Tevez turned the game on its head. And he now has more goals at Old Trafford in 2025 than current United strikers Hojlund and Zirkzee combined. Indeed, it was a fairly simple task to just get ahead of each forward as neither man had scored more than once at the Theatre of Dreams this year. Most read in Football BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Hojlund's sole home strike came in the 4-1 Europa League win over Athletic Bilbao, with United having already been 3-0 up from the first leg of the semi final in Spain. As for Zirkzee, he netted in February's 2-1 FA Cup fourth round win over relegated Leicester.

Fans were quick to react, with one saying: 'Even when the season is over, there is no hiding from the banter.' Another declared: 'Cooked.' One noted: 'Tevez loved every second of it.' Another added: 'Rivalry never dies.' Ex-West Ham and Juventus striker Tevez was only at Old Trafford as a United player for two years but made a major impact with 34 goals in 99 games. He won consecutive Premier League titles under Sir Alex Ferguson while also lifting the Champions League in 2008. During his previous spell at West Ham, Tevez became a legend for saving the Irons from relegation. While at City, he helped himself to another title before winning two Serie As at Juventus. Tevez's glittering career also saw him turned out for Corinthians, Shanghai Shenhua and Boca Juniors — where he began and ended his club career while also landing four titles and a Copa Libertadores. The striker also played 76 times for Argentina but lost three Copa America finals. After retiring in 2021, Tevez moved into management with Rosario Central a year later. He then took charge of Independiente before leaving in 2024 and has yet to return to the dugout.

Tearful JJ Spaun sinks monster putt on final hole as 120/1 underdog pips Robert MacIntyre to US Open crown at Oakmont
ROBERT MACINTYRE suffered the same Oakmont heartbreak as boyhood hero Colin Montgomerie as JJ Spaun pushed him into second place at the US open. At the fearsome course where Montgomerie was edged out in a play-off by Ernie Els in 1994, MacIntyre looked like going one better after a brilliant closing round of 68 saw him take the clubhouse lead at one over par. 5 American JJ Spaun won the US Open at Oakmont after a thrilling final round Credit: Getty 5 Spaun sparked wild scenes on 18 as he holed the longest putt of the whole week to win the US Open Credit: Reuters 5 Spaun celebrated with his wife and kids after his incredible Major win Credit: Reuters 5 Spaun shared a kiss with proud wife Melody Credit: Getty Spaun, who was also on one over with two holes to play, was the only man with a realistic chance of denying the young Scot. And he produced a wonder shot at the driveable par four 17th, smashing a 309 yard drive to within 18 feet of the flag. The eagle putt rolled past the hole, but Spaun showed nerves of steel to sink his three footer for birdie, and claim the outright lead. The stocky American still needed to make at least a par at the ultra-tough 18th to avoid a play-off. Read more Golf News And maybe the memories of what happened to him at The Players Championship a few months ago meant he was determined to avoid that outcome. Spaun left a putt for victory at Sawgrass hanging in the jaws of the final hole - and he was blown away by Rory McIlroy when they returned for a three hole shoot out the next day. He made absolutely sure that could not happen again by sinking a bomb from 65 FEET at the last for a two shot victory. At one under par he was the only man to finish in red figures. Most read in Golf CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 5 Robert MacIntyre's incredible 2-under-par final round had fired him into the running Credit: Reuters Spaun, who was 120/1 with the bookies at the start of the week, also had the distinction of firing the only bogey-free round of the week with his first round 66. He hung tough after that, produced a fantastic finishing flourish, and the world No 25 is now a worthy Major champion. Eagle-eyed fans spot Rory McIlroy's 'unrepeatable' magic trick in furious fit of rage at US Open It was hard on MacIntyre, who was the only player in the final SIXTEEN groups on the course to break par on day four. His weekend rounds of 69-68 would have made him a worthy winner, if world No 25 Spaun had not shown such grit after a horror start saw him drop five shots in the first six holes. MacIntyre knew he could not have done any more. He commented: 'All I can say is that I'm absolutely delighted with the way I played today. 'I got off to a rough start with a couple of early bogeys, but sinking a sixty footer for eagle on the fourth showed you can never tell what is going to happen next here 'I could see no-one was getting away from me among the guys who started out in front of me, so I had to dig in, dig in, and dig in some more. I did that. I did my best.'
