On the other hand, Mauricio Pochettino, the former Chelsea boss, will return to Stamford Bridge just over two weeks after leaving his post. He will manage the World XI team with Jesus Perez and ex-Premier League and Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane.
They led the World XI to a 4-2 victory at Old Trafford last year and are aiming for a repeat performance. Eden Hazard will make his first appearance at Chelsea since his transfer to Real Madrid and subsequent retirement five years ago.
He will join Petr Cech, Roberto Carlos, Jill Scott, Gary Cahill, Joe Cole, Patrice Evra, Kaylyn Kyle and Alessandro Del Piero, all of whom are considered 'Legends' of the game.
