Manchester United have confirmed they will tour the United States in the build up to next season.

This will be the fifth time the Red Devils have visited the US in pre-season with their most recent one coming in 2011, when they played three MLS sides as well as Barcelona.

Exact details are yet to be released but the club have confirmed they will visit a number of destinations, after their cross-Asia tour was so successful last year.

Managing director Richard Arnold said: "I'm delighted to announce that the team will be returning to the USA for our 2014 Tour.

"Since the club's last visit in 2011, the appeal of football in America has grown rapidly.

"Manchester United has over eight million followers in the United States and the 2014 Tour presents an exciting opportunity for these fans to get up close to the club they love."

Reports have suggested they will take part in the International Champions Cup along with seven other major sides, although the plans could yet be disrupted.

David Moyes' men are currently seventh in the Premier League table and seven points adrift of fourth-placed Liverpool.

They may well have to take part in the early qualifying stages of the Europa League in August which may cause a re-think in the proposed plans.
