Manchester United set up pre-season friendly against Galatasaray

Manchester United announce that they will take on Galatasaray in a pre-season friendly in Sweden on July 30.

Manchester United have announced that a friendly against Turkish giants Galatasaray has been added to their pre-season schedule.

Jose Mourinho's team will travel to the 43,000-seater Ullevi Stadium in Sweden on July 30 for the match, which will kick off at 7.30pm.

Prior to the friendly against Galatasaray, United will face Borussia Dortmund and local rivals Manchester City in China.

"The team has a valuable combination of domestic and overseas games against tough European opposition," executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward told the club's official website.

"Playing games across a number of countries allows our tremendous fans the opportunity to watch the team play, and importantly the number of games allows the manager and team the best opportunity to prepare for the coming season."

United's trip to Scandinavia, which is their first since 2002, is likely to draw in the crowds should rumoured transfer target Zlatan Ibrahimovic be in the squad.

The Sweden international is expected to sign for the Red Devils on a free transfer this week.
