United plans tour in July ahead of new EPL season
Print Edition
MANCHESTER United will tour China in July as part of its preparations for the 2016-17 season, the English Premier League giant said yesterday.
United will spend eight days in the country and play two matches, with dates, venues, opposition teams and ticket details to be announced in the coming days. It will be United’s 11th trip to China, where the club estimates it has 107 million supporters. China has become a key commercial battleground for top EPL teams. A Chinese consortium bought a 13 percent stake in the parent group of United’s cross-town rival Manchester City in December, two months after President Xi Jinping visited the club. Yesterday, City announced a new regional partnership with sports activity brand SoccerWorld, which will see City coaches visit China twice a year to train local coaches.
