<\/p>\n

Manchester United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has said he will be taking an almost full strength squad to Asia, for their upcoming pre-season tour.<\/p>\n

However, it remains to be seen whether Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku, will travel with their futures in doubt.<\/p>\n

United are not heavily affected by Copa America and the African Cup of Nations, with only Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez on national team duty.<\/p>\n

This means Solskjaer will be able to take a full complement of players to Australia for the first leg of their tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cSummer has been kind to us in that respect \u2013 so we\u2019ll travel to Perth with the full first team squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone should be available to be picked \u2013 hopefully they\u2019re fit when they come back \u2013 so the first team is going to be there,\u201d Solskjaer said via the club\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

United will begin their pre-season against Australian A-League premiers Perth Glory on July 13 at Optus Stadium, before taking on Leeds United at the same venue four days later.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo play against (A-League premiers) Perth Glory is always a good reference point on how the leagues compare.<\/p>\n

\u201cGames against Leeds United have always been huge for us. I\u2019ve played in quite a few \u2013 both on-and-off the pitch there is some rivalry,\u201d Solskjaer said.<\/p>\n

Following the two matches Down Under, the Red Devils face Inter in Singapore on July 20, before wrapping up their tour against Tottenham in Shanghai on July 25.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
