Jose Mourinho will take charge of Manchester United for the first time on July 16 when they take on Wigan Athletic in a friendly, the Red Devils have announced.
Mourinho officially began life as Louis van Gaal's successor on Monday before being unveiled in an explosive first press conderence at Old Trafford.
And the former Chelsea boss now has just over a week to prepare his squad for their first outing as they make the short trip to the DW Stadium to face the Championship outfit.
"The first game against Wigan is very important as I am going to have some players I don’t know very well who I am bringing into the first team," Mourinho told United's official website.
The 20-time English champions will then continue their pre-season with clashes against Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City in China before taking on Galatasaray in Gothenburg on 30 July.
United then return to Old Trafford for a game against Everton in Wayne Rooney's testimonial before taking on Premier League champions Leicester City in the Community Shield at Wembley six days before the season gets under way. - Goal
