United to play in Bangkok and Melbourne

Marking the club’s first visit to Bangkok since 2013, United will take on traditional rivals Liverpool in ‘The Match’ Centenary Cup on 12 July at the Rajamangala Stadium in the Thai capital.

The squad will then fly to Australia for United’s first trip to Melbourne since 1999. Fans will be able to see the Reds play at the famed Melbourne Cricket Ground against local A-League team Melbourne Victory on 15 July, and against Premier League rivals Crystal Palace on 19 July.

Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough, comments: “Pre-season tours are such an important part of the squad’s preparation for the season ahead, so it’s crucial to have excellent training facilities and high-quality opposition.
