A Reds team will participate in a pre-season friendly at the Deva Stadium.

Following a Professional Development Phase training camp last week, Under-18s friendlies are planned against Charlton Athletic, Celtic and Chelsea, behind closed doors.

The SuperCupNI tournament in Northern Ireland, formerly known as the Milk Cup, then leads the focus, taking place between 21 and 26 July.

United have been drawn in Group D of the Premier section, alongside Fermanagh, Intercontinental and Skouted, the team that was set up by former Reds forward Febian Brandy.

We are participating in an Under-19s tournament in the Croatian city of Zagreb in early August and the Otten Cup, for the same age group, later that month in Eindhoven.

The other nine teams involved in the Netherlands are hosts PSV Eindhoven, Anderlecht, Paris Saint-Germain, FC Copenhagen, Benfica, Utrecht, Atletico Madrid, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors and RB Bragantino.

Any additional fixtures will be confirmed in due course.
