United, like most major clubs, does an annual goodwill/promotional tour overseas to drum up interest in the club.
This will be their first trip to China – where they have an estimated 107 million fans – since 2013.
American fans got to see Manchester United crisscross the country in 2014 and 2015.
These promotional trips are great for the growth of the game, however, fans shouldn’t go in expecting to see a real game.
