Other signings include Hollywood star Jeremy Renner (The Avengers, The Bourne Legacy, The Hurt Locker), Italian footballing legend Alessandro Del Piero and Santiago Cabrera (The Musketeers, Heroes), as the Rest of the World take on England in Soccer Aid 2014 at Old Trafford.
The epic sporting event takes place on Sunday 8 June. As the nation prepares for a summer of football, the two star-studded squads of football legends and the world’s biggest stars will compete in an electrifying football match all in aid of UNICEF, the world’s leading children’s organisation.
Jose Mourinho said: "Thanks to UNICEF for asking me to manage The Rest of the World at Soccer Aid at Old Trafford. I'm looking forward to beating Robbie Williams' and Big Sam’s England team and raising money for UNICEF. Buy your tickets at manutd.com/socceraid or call 0845 456 2014. See you there, it will be a special night!”
Prices start from just £20 for adults and from £5 for Under 16s. Premium seating is available at £40, while hospitality packages are also on sale.
Money raised through Soccer Aid goes to UNICEF's invaluable work helping children around the world. This will be the fifth Soccer Aid event, with the previous matches, held at Wembley in 2008 and at Old Trafford in 2006, 2010 and 2012, raising over £12million in total for UNICEF's work.
