United heading Down Under - reports

Manchester United look set to make their first appearance in Australia for 14 years next summer.

United officials have been in talks with Football Federation Australia counterparts for a number of months now about Sir Alex Ferguson's men heading Down Under as part of their 2013 pre-season tour.

Although the Premier League giants have yet to confirm their plans, it has been reported in Australia that the finishing touches are now being applied to a match that would see United take on an A-League All Star team at ANZ Stadium - formerly Stadium Australia - on July 20.
