The Jamaican, 36, used his impressive pace to get in behind the England defence and calmly slotted past former international goalkeeper David James.

After netting, Bolt ran off to the fans and copied Marcus Rashford's iconic finger-pointing to-head celebration.

Rashford commented on the celebration on Instagram as he wrote: "Rash X Bolt ⚡️👉🏾🙎🏾‍♂️.

To which Bolt replied: "@marcusrashford nothing but love.";

The goal helped the World XI, managed by new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, to their fifth straight win in a row as the game ended 4-2.

But Bolt's goal got all the United fans talking, especially as he himself is a club fan and previously admitted that he wanted to play for the club.

One fan tweeted: "My boy Bolt is better than Weghorst 😅."

A second commented: ";Scored as many goals at OT as Weghorst this season..."

A third wrote: "Better than Weghorst 😭."

A fourth said: "Weghorst would not score in that position 😭😭😭."

A fifth added: "Should have signed him Instead of Weghorst."

While another claimed: "He’s probably clear of Weghorst not even joking more composed than him, and he’s the fastest man alive, so he’s gone in behind."

Weghorst has left United following the end of his loan spell from Burnley.

The Dutch forward will now have to decide between fighting for his spot at Vincent Kompany's team or start looking for a new club.

Asa Butterfield and United legend Paul Scholes did fire back for England in the second half.

But Scholes was forced off injured after a tackle from old United team-mate Nani.

And it was all downhill for England after Scholes' exit as former Tottenham and Liverpool star Robbie Keane netted twice for the World XI in the second half.
