Manchester United have added a game against Turkish club Galatasaray in Gothenburg to their pre-season preparations.

United will head to Sweden for their final overseas game ahead of the new season, with the game scheduled for a 7.30pm kick-off at the Ullevi Stadium on Saturday 30 July.

The 13-time Premier League champions are expected to confirm the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the next few days, and the trip to Scandanavia would give Swedish fans another chance to salute the striker who hung up his international boots after Euro 2016.
