Wayne Rooney & Tyson Fury to co-manage England! Soccer Aid confirm dream coaching duo with Man Utd legend & ex-boxing world heavyweight champion also set to PLAY in 2025 charity game

Premier League

Bournemouth

Manchester United

<p>The former Manchester United star and the ex-world heavyweight champion will come together for a noble cause as they are all set to manage Soccer Aid charity's England team. Rooney will also take part as a player in the annual charity match, which is designed to raise money for children’s aid charity Unicef. The other co-managers for England are Harry Redknapp and Line Of Duty star Vicky McClure. The players' list includes Red Devils legend Gary Neville, Paddy McGuinness, singer Tom Grennan, reality star Sam Thompson, Olympian Sam Quek, Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett, Olympian Sir Mo Farah, and One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fury said of the exciting venture: "Tyson Fury: England manager. Who would ever have thought it? I have had some big fights in my career and the prospect of leading my England team to victory this June fills me with just as much excitement as any heavyweight fight.</p><p>"Everyone knows that I am a huge Manchester United fan too, so it’s even more special for me that the game is at Old Trafford this year – and I get to manage one of my heroes, Wayne Rooney. How can we lose? The work Unicef does all around the world is so special and so important. I really hope that you can come along and support us this summer."</p><p>While confirming his participation, Rooney added: "I enjoyed the last time I was involved at Soccer Aid so much that when the call came for the 2025 match it was a really easy decision. I’m a big boxing fan, so to do it alongside Tyson Fury is fantastic. It really sums up how brilliant Soccer Aid is.</p><p>"We have this in common: we’ll both be taking it incredibly seriously. Obviously it’s great to lace-up the old boots again – and see some old friends – but the cause is the real reason we are doing this. Unicef needs our help. So, I promise we’ll put on a show for you this June if you buy your tickets to help raise money for Unicef and for children around the world."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tyson Fury has never lost in England.
