Manchester United chief executive David Gill said:
“I’m delighted that the final game of our preparations for the 2013/14 season will be in the magnificent new home of Swedish football. This match is our first against AIK and will provide a tough test for the players as the new campaign approaches.
“As a club, we have visited Sweden many times and, of course, one of our Treble winners of 1999, Jesper Blomqvist, appeared 30 times for the Swedish national team, as well as playing – and scoring – against United for Gothenburg in the Champions League.”

One reply on “Manchester United announce Stockholm pre-season match”
I am a passionate supporting fan for Man U,, and I have wonderful memories of their “ups” and occasional “downs”., and Eric Cantona etc., etc.
I look forward to every weekend here on Victoria Island, Pacific Western Canada, getting up some days at 4.30 am to watch them.
I cant name another team with such history behind them, and such a
solid future ahead, I cant wait for mid-August games to start the season.
I wish Ryan Giggs, all the very best with his future plans to be a Coach,
English football will be the better for his vast experience and his personal
love of the game. but Ryan don’t go just yet, play for another 2 years.
The team rosters this season ahead, looks great now, and with David Moyes at the helm, we will be the team to beat yet again, I am praying for at least a DOUBLE, or better still, the TREBLE.
