The World XI is being managed by ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel with fellow United legends Edwin van der Sar and Nemanja Vidic on the team. The Irish stars line out for the World XI team alongside former boxer Tony Bellew, actor Richard Gadd, YouTuber Tobi Brown and more. England, who are coached by former soccer player Wayne Rooney and boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, include former Manchester United player Gary Neville, singer Tom Grennan, presenter, actor Paddy McGuinness and singer Louis Tomlinson. Reality star Sam Thompson, who won I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here last year was also set to play for the England side but has since withdrawn. Sam and Louis' appearance on the same team would have been an interesting watch following reports that the former One Direction singer is romantically involved with Sam's ex-girlfriend, Zara Thompson.
