Manchester United set up friendly with Bayern

The fixture is scheduled to take place on 5th August at the Allianz arena, following international friendlies against Club America, San Jose Earthquakes, AC Milan, Liverpool and Real Madrid during United's USA tour.

United's executive vice chairman, Ed Woodward, said: ''The team are facing some of the world's toughest opponents over the course of pre-season, in top class stadiums which will allow a significant number of our supporters to get closer to the team they love.''

''The competitive feel throughout the summer programme will provide a great platform for the squad, giving them the best possible preparation ahead of the new campaign.'' 

Both Bayern and United had hinted at a possible friendly with witty exchanges on social media platform Twitter, during which the Bavarian giants held nothing back and got one over on the Premier League outfit.
