The Reds will take on three of the continent's best teams in the International Champions Cup (ICC) in July and August - Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan in Singapore on 20 July, Champions League finalists Tottenham Hotspur in Shanghai on 25 July and finally seven-time European champions AC Milan in Cardiff on 3 August.
United have also announced friendly fixtures against Perth Glory, Leeds United and Kristiansund, with all six pre-season games designed to boost the squad's fitness levels.
The Reds' 2019/20 Premier League campaign begins with a home game against Chelsea - Conte's most recent former club - and McTominay believes those three ICC fixtures in particular will be the ideal preparation for our Old Trafford clash with the Blues.
