Following the match, Horan uploaded a picture of himself and Tomlinson playing. He wrote, “Had the most amazing time with everyone this week..playing infront of 70,000 people at old Trafford last night with great people was amazing but the week in general was just a great experience . Thank you to Robbie and Johnny and everyone @socceraid for having myself and Tommo . Most importantly millions of pounds was raised for @unicef and in turn doubled by the government … Thank you to the ladies at UNICEF for being lovely and giving us even more of an idea of the great work you do.”
