SOCCER AID is back with some huge stars featuring in this year’s iconic charity match.
Last year, England put an end to a torrid run of five straight defeats with a 6-3 win at Stamford Bridge.
It was the Three Lions’ sixth Soccer Aid triumph, and this time, they will be looking to equal World XI’s record tally of 7.
Former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will be in the England dugout alongside fan favourite Harry Redknapp.
Wayne Rooney will be in the management team and also pull on his boots as the Man Utd legend returns to Old Trafford alongside former teammates Paul Scholes and Gary Neville.
Ex-Lionesses Steph Houghton and Toni Duggan are in line to make their debuts in the charity match as the pair pull on their country’s colours once again.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel will be in charge of World XI with the likes of Leonardo Bonucci, Carlos Tevez and Soccer Aid legend Robbie Keane at his disposal.
As ever, many famous faces will feature alongside the football legends.
Fan favourites Tom Grennan, Paddy McGuinness, Sam Thompson and Martin Compston will all return.
