Rooney to manage England at Soccer Aid with Evra and Toure confirmed as players

Derby County captain Wayne Rooney will manage England at Soccer Aid for Unicef to be held later this year.

The Three Lions all-time leading goalscorer will work alongside co-manager Sam Allardyce, with David Seaman serving as goalkeeping coach for the one-off match to be held at Old Trafford.

Rooney, who joined Derby last season in a player-coach role, has been granted permission to take part in the match as he gains some unique managerial experience and raises awareness for an important cause.
