Manchester United announce that they will tour China for eight days and play two matches in the country as part of their 2016 pre-season.

Premier League giants Manchester United have announced that they will travel to China for an eight-day, two-match pre-season tour this summer.

The Red Devils first visited the region in 1975 and have gone on to make a further nine trips to the Asian country.

United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward told the club website: "Manchester United has strong historical links with China and we are very proud of our relationship and of our fans throughout the country.

"A total of almost 500,000 supporters have attended previous games during our visits to China and we have always enjoyed exceptional support in the country, so naturally it is something that everybody is very much looking forward to this summer."

The dates and United's opponents in the two matches will be announced in due course.
