Reds set for Inter friendly
Newly-crowned Premiership champions, United will take on Serie A
winners Internazionale in a friendly in August as part of the Reds
pre-season schedule.
Sir Alex Ferguson is taking his nine-time title winners to the Far
East in July for a four-nation tour which takes in Japan, Korea,
China and Malaysia.
But the Reds will then return to England to continue preparations
for the new season to defend the title, and Internazionale will be
one of Uniteds first tests on Wednesday 1 August at Old
Trafford.
Inter ran away with the Scudetto this season, ending the season in
Italy with an impressive 93 points from 36 games, a mammoth 21
points clear of second-placed AS Roma, and 32 ahead of Lazio, who
finished third.
In competitive terms, the Reds last met Inter on the way to the
1999 Treble, defeating the Nerazzurri over two legs in the quarter
final of the Champions League.
