Some of the biggest names in football have agreed to take
part in next month’s ‘Match for Children’ at Old Trafford.
Organised in aid of UNICEF, the charity game sees a Great
Britain and Ireland team captained by David Beckham line out against Zinedine
Zidane’s Rest of the World XI.
Former Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson returns to his
old home to manage a side which will feature the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul
Scholes, Jamie Carragher, Rio Ferdinand, John Terry and David Seaman.
And legendary Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti, formerly of
AC Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid, takes charge of the opposition, whose squad
includes ex-world stars such as Ronaldinho, Luis Figo, Cafu, Alessandro Nesta,
Patrick Vieira and Patrick Kluivert.
With no Premier League matches taking place that weekend due
to the Euro 2016 play-offs, the game has been scheduled for 14 November and kick-off
is 3pm.
