Manchester United will travel to Norway this summer as part of the club’s Tour 2017, presented by Aon.

United will head to Oslo to face Norwegian club Valerenga IF at the Ullevaal Stadium on Sunday 30 July, kick-off 19:00 (local time) / 18:00 BST.

Before the trip to Scandinavia, Jose Mourinho’s men will travel to the USA to face MLS sides LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake, before competing in the International Champions Cup with games against Manchester City and Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.

“Playing games across a number of locations gives our unrivalled fans the opportunity to watch the team play, with the club being fortunate to have such fantastic support right across the world.”

Dag Erik Aspaas, CEO of Aon Norway, said: “We welcome Manchester United to Norway as part of Tour 2017. Every day, in Norway and around the world, Aon works with organisations to empower results by reducing volatility and finding opportunities to improve performance. We are proud to support the club on their journey to greatness.”
