Soccer Aid 2023 LIVE: TV channel, FREE live stream, line-ups for TONIGHT'S charity match at Old Trafford | The Sun

SOCCER AID is back TONIGHT with another huge match-up between England and the Rest of the World.

UK rap superstar Stormzy has been confirmed as the England manager, while new Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino will be in charge of the World XI.

Stormzy admitted to being excited for the 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity and revealed that he would love to manage Wayne Rooney if he could choose just one player.

The rap mogul said: "I’m a massive football fan, so getting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to manage England is a dream come true. The fact it’s at Old Trafford, and I’m a Manchester United fan, makes it extra special.

"Growing up, I have such good memories of watching Soccer Aid and all the star names who have taken part over the years."

"I like to explore opportunities outside of music and when this one came across my desk I was delighted.

"This is an opportunity to show the world my football mind! I’m taking this really seriously. I don’t want the players saying they loved my last album – seriously, it’s just about winning the game for me. I’ll put the fire in them.

"They need to call me ‘boss’ or ‘gaffer’, though – not Mike!"

Pochettino, 51, said: "It is a real pleasure to be part of a match that represents a big cultural moment in this country's annual calendar – and rightly so, because it raises so much money for Unicef.

"I love English football stadiums, the passion the fans show for the game and the atmosphere they create, so it will be great to feel that again next month."
