Manchester United have announced two preseason friendlies in Norway.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take United to his homeland to play hometown team Kristiansund on July 30, with the women's team playing Valerenga a day later.

Announcing the news, executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said the club were excited to venture into Scandanavia for their preseason preparations.

"These two friendlies will be part of what is set to be a great pre-season for both the men's and women's teams," he said. "The club has always had a strong following in Norway, with our Scandinavian supporters' club being one of the biggest and most active fan groups.

"It is a pleasure to be playing against Ole's hometown team and we are sure there will be great support for this game.

"This will also be an excellent preparation for the women's team with Casey and her squad building on their promotion success in readiness for the season to come."
