Man Utd men and women's teams to travel to Norway for historic pre-season trip
Manchester United's senior teams will travel together to Norway for a pre-season trip for the first time in July.
United's men will take on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's hometown team Kristiansund on July 30 as part of their pre-season schedule.
The women's team will also travel to Scandinavia after their promotion to the Women's Super League and face Valerenga the following day in Oslo.
After a disappointing campaign in which United finished outside the top four for the third time in the last four seasons, Solskjaer wants his side to return ahead of the 2019-20 feeling confident.
"We want to hit the ground running and give ourselves a chance to challenge once the new campaign starts," the United manager said.
The Man Utd players who should leave… and the ones they cannot lose
"The best way to do that is with some momentum behind you."
The Red Devils avoided a potential disaster of dropping down to the Europa League qualifying round after arch rivals Manchester City beat Watford in the FA Cup final.
The women's team, meanwhile, won the second-tier Championship 11 months after the team was relaunched having been scrapped in 2005.
"We can't wait, it's a fantastic city and it will be a great game," women's team manager Casey Stoney said.
"It'll be a good test for us to build into the new season. We're really thankful that they have invited us over to play in this game."
