Manchester United announce two additional pre-season fixtures in Norway

Manchester United have announced a further two pre-season fixtures as part of their 2019 summer schedule.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men's side will face Kristiansund on 30 July, while Casey Stoney and her women's side will face Valerenga a day later.

Both fixtures will take part in different stadiums in Oslo, with the men's match at the Ullevaal Stadium and the women's fixture at the Intility Arena.

Speaking after the announcement of the fixtures club executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward spoke of his excitement to be playing in Scandinavia.

"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."
