English Premier League giants Manchester United FC announced the 2016 China Tour in an official statement.
The Red Devil will play two friendly matches in China in 8 days during the summer ahead of the 2016/2017 season.
"Manchester United has strong historical links with China and we are very proud of our relationship and of our fans throughout the country,” said Ed Woodward, Manchester United's Executive Vice Chairman.
"A total of almost 500,000 supporters have attended previous games during our visits to China and we have always enjoyed exceptional support in the country, so naturally it is something that everybody is very much looking forward to this summer."
President and Chief Executive Officer of Aon, Greg Case, said: "At Aon, we recognise the journey to greatness starts with preparation well before the match. We are proud to partner with organisations in China and around the world to help them prepare for unforeseen and emerging risks, and to manage and develop their talent, allowing them to focus on what they do best: run their business. We are excited to present the Manchester United Tour 2016 in China and look forward to helping the club in any way we can."
