Yet for United supporters, Sunday’s game offers a particularly nostalgic twist.
That’s because a record nine former Manchester United legends are set to feature across both teams.
Thus, marking the largest ever Red Devils contingent in Soccer Aid history.
As per Daily Mail’s report, Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville will line up for England, alongside iconic midfield duo Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes, who will be reuniting in the middle of the park.
On the opposing side, the World XI team will feature Nemanja Vidic, Carlos Tevez, Edwin van der Sar, and John O’Shea, adding an international flavour to the United connection.
