Manchester United Arrive Home From Pre-season Tour Of China

Manchester United have arrived home following their pre-season tour of China.

The tour ended in disappointing fashion when Manchester United's friendly against Manchester City in Beijing was cancelled because of the state of the pitch.

Around 50,000 fans were left disappointed by the cancellation of the Manchester derby on Monday, but it will have come as a relief to Jose Mourinho, who feared playing on the hazardous pitch could have led to injuries.

United's players are now scheduled to have Tuesday and Wednesday off before returning to training on Thursday to prepare for Saturday's friendly with Galatasaray in Gothenburg.

New signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic is scheduled to join up with his new team-mates this week after being granted an extended holiday following Euro 2016.

The club have not yet announced whether he will feature in the match in his native Sweden this weekend but the expectation is it may come too soon for the 34-year-old.

Following the trip to Sweden, United will complete their pre-season schedule with a clash against Everton at Old Trafford on August 3 in Wayne Rooney's testimonial.

The Red Devils then head to Wembley on August 7 to take on Leicester City in the FA Community Shield, before beginning their Premier League campaign with a trip to Bournemouth a week later.
