Usain Bolt completed a lifelong dream at Soccer Aid 2023, scoring at Old Trafford and hitting Marcus Rashford's celebration. The world's fastest man captained the World XI side in their 4-2 victory against England. The Jamaican broke the deadlock at the home of his beloved Manchester United in the 24th minute when he slotted the ball straight past David James with remarkable ease.
