Man City add Malaysia to pre-season tour of Asia

Manchester City have announced an extra date for their pre-season tour to Asia.

The Eastlands club will now travel to Malaysia for the first time, adding a friendly with a Malaysian Select XI on 30 July at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

City already had confirmed an exhibition match with Premier League rivals Arsenal in Beijing on July 27 but now they will also head to Malaysia.

"This visit is hugely exciting for Manchester City, " said City's interim CEO John MacBeath.

"It is clear that there is significant appetite for the Premier League in Malaysia, and we are very excited to be taking our talented squad there to put on a sporting spectacle for our fans in South East Asia.

"To witness the fans' excitement first hand will be a fantastic experience."
