United have confirmed they will visit feeder club Royal Antwerp on Wednesday, August 3 as part of their pre-season programme.

The match, part of Antwerp's 125th anniversary celebrations, had originally been scheduled for a week later but those plans had to be scrapped as United did not qualify for the CL proper.

Antwerp, shall we say, has a quite a reputation for a certain kind of hospitality.

Pre-season fixtures so far:

Saturday, July 16 v Clyde (a)

Tuesday, July 19 v Peterborough (a)

Saturday, July 23 v Hong Kong XI (a)

Tuesday, July 26 v Beijing Hyundai (a)

Thursday, July 28 v Kashima Antlers (a)

Saturday, July 30 v Urawa Red Diamonds (a)

Tuesday, August 2 v Wrexham (a)

Wednesday, August 3 v Royal Antwerp (a)
