EX-PLYMOUTH Argyle boss Wayne Rooney is returning to management – alongside former world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury!

Rooney and Fury will co-manage England at Soccer Aid for UNICEF at Manchester United’s Old Trafford on Sunday, June 15.

Rooney said: “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.

“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.”

● Tickets for the game are on sale via socceraid. org.uk/tickets
