Manchester United will tackle Barcelona in a friendly in
Washington on July 30.
Although United are yet to confirm their pre-season plans for
next summer, it was anticipated they would tour the United States
once again.
And the announcement on Barcelona's website that Sir Alex
Ferguson's men will form one of their opponents for a three-match
tour suggests United will also spend an extended period across the
Atlantic.
The Red Devils played five matches this year, including a game
in Guadalajara against Chivas as part of the deal that took Javier
Hernandez to Old Trafford.
United were beaten by Barcelona in the Champions League Final of
2009.
Meanwhile, Hull have extended the loan of United winger Cameron
Stewart until the end of the season. The 19-year-old was signed in
November until January 4 but has since impressed the Tigers enough
to secure a longer stay at the KC Stadium.
