Manchester United fans can't believe what Eric Cantona did in Soccer Aid

It may only have been ten minutes, but Manchester United fans were treated to a cameo from Eric Cantona during Soccer Aid 2019.

Cantona was introduced as a late substitute during the charity match, with his World XI team trailing 2-1 against England.

The United legend did not have much to do, but he certainly made an impact as his stylish flick out to Kem Cetinay set up the Love Island winner to cut inside John Terry and bend a shot into the far corner. The goal sent the World XI bench - led by Piers Morgan - wild on the touchline.

File that under scenarios you didn't think you'd see on a Sunday night.

Cantona later had a long range shot that flew over the bar, but while United fans were excited to see another Cantona assist, they were slightly bemused by the whole scenario.

Wait, what?

What a time to be alive.

Limbs.

Just weird.

He's still got it.
