Manchester United and Manchester City will meet in a pre-season friendly in America this coming July, as part of the annual International Champions Cup.

Both teams should have faced off in the tournament last year in Beijing, but the match was subsequently called off due to bad weather, which caused the pitch to become waterlogged.

The upcoming game on July 20, will therefore be the first Manchester Derby to be held outside the UK at a venue that is yet to be confirmed.
