Man Utd announce preseason friendlies - including Rooney's Derby

Manchester United have announced four pre-season friendlies this summer.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will take on former United striker Wayne Rooney's Derby at Pride Park on July 18.

After a week-long training camp in the UK, United will play Queen's Park Rangers away on July 24, before returning to Old Trafford to face Premier League newcomers Brentford on July 28 and Everton on August 7.

United 's Chief Operating Officer, Collette Roche said: “This year's pre-season schedule has been planned with the current travel restrictions in mind, whilst providing Ole and the players with the best possible preparations for the new season.

“Playing two pre-season matches at Old Trafford will also give us another opportunity to welcome fans back safely into the stadium ahead of the new Premier League season."
