London - Manchester United have confirmed that they will face Barcelona in a pre-season friendly at Gothenburg, Sweden on August 8.

"Manchester United against Barcelona is one of the top fixtures in world football and we are delighted to work with GotEvent to bring this match to the beautiful city of Gothenburg," Sports 24 quoted United chief executive David Gill, as saying.

United, beaten 3-1 by Barca in the 2011 Champions League final, will face the Catalans as part of a busy pre-season schedule which includes matches in Norway, South Africa and China.

"We have a large following throughout Scandinavia and it's great that this match will form part of our preparations for the new season," he added.
