Manchester United will play Wayne Rooney's Derby in the first of four pre-season friendlies, the Premier League club have announced.
United will visit Pride Park on July 18 to take on their all-time leading goalscorer's Sky Bet Championship side and the following week will play at QPR on July 24.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have scheduled friendlies against Everton and newly-promoted Brentford at Old Trafford for July 28 and August 7 respectively.
United's chief operating officer Collette Roche told the club's official website: "This year's pre-season schedule has been planned with the current travel restrictions in mind, whilst providing Ole and the players with the best possible preparations for the new season.
"Playing two pre-season matches at Old Trafford will also give us another opportunity to welcome fans back safely into the stadium ahead of the new Premier League season."
