11.06.2023 - 18:39 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Soccer Aid is back for another year, with two teams made up of celebrities and former professional players taking part in the charity match.
The game returns to Manchester and will be held at Old Trafford for the first time since 2020 when it was held behind closed doors due to the pandemic. Now in its 12th year, donations from Soccer Aid go to Unicef with money used to help give kids the best start in life.
Among those lining up for England this year is actor Asa Butterfield, who is perhaps best known for starring in Sex Education. The 26-year-old plays socially-awkward Otis Milburn in the hit Netflix drama.

The star, who was born in London, previously revealed that he related to Otis as they both enjoyed the same kind of videogames. Coincidentally, Asa's mum is a psychologist - just like Otis' mum Dr Jean Milburn, portrayed by Gillian Anderson.
As a child, Asa starred in the 2008 war film The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas. He went on to play the title role in Martin Scorsese's Hugo and starred in Tim Burton's Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
Other credits include science fiction film Ender's Game, Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang and the drama X+Y.
Away from acting, Asa is a fan of music and gaming. He used to be in a group with his older brother called Mambo Fresh. He also plays e-sports professionally.
He enjoys competitive Nintendo gaming, especially Super Smash Bros. In 2020, he was signed by professional e-sports organisation Liquid Gold.
The star will be making his Soccer Aid debut at the weekend. Joining him on team England is Tom Hiddleston, Danny Dyer, Gary Neville, Gary Cahill, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Jack Wilshere, Jermain
