Manchester United will travel to Norway this summer as part of the Club's Tour 2017, the English Premier League giant announced on Thursday.

United will head to Oslo where they will face Norwegian club Valerenga IF at the Ullevaal Stadium on July 30.

Manchester United's Executive Vice Chairman Ed Woodward said: "The team will have access to top class facilities and the number of games this summer ensures that the manager and squad have the best opportunity to prepare for the coming season.

"Playing games across a number of locations gives our unrivalled fans the opportunity to watch the team play, with the club being fortunate to have such fantastic support right across the world." Enditem
