And finally... will Jose Mourinho be there?

In short, yes.

Mourinho WILL be in the Manchester United dugout for the first time on Sunday for the Soccer Aid match.

The Special One was reportedly ready to pull out of the match as he felt his presence in the dugout would overshadow the game itself.

However Mirror Sport understands that Mourinho WILL take c-harge of an England team against a Rest of the World side.

A source said: "He signed up for this some time ago and there's no way he'd let the c-harity down at this late stage.

"He will be there, as manager."
