Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox told the club’s website: “Following the announcement of our match against Leeds in Dublin, we are delighted to confirm four more pre-season fixtures in the Nordic countries.

“We are pleased to be playing in some fantastic cities, against opponents who will be a strong test for us.

“We have the best fans in the world and this schedule gives us a great opportunity to connect with our supporters across Europe. We are really looking forward to getting out there and working hard ahead of a big season.”

United have enjoyed an impressive revival since former Old Trafford favorite Michael Carrick took over after Darren Fletcher briefly took charge following the end of Ruben Amorim’s turbulent 14-month reign in January. The Red Devils have risen to third place in the Premier League, putting a return to the Champions League in sight.
