Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs has admitted that the club's players always look forward to visiting China.
The Reds will head to China to take on Shanghai Shenhua – who now boast Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba in their ranks – on July 25.
The match will take place at the Shanghai Stadium with the winner securing the Chevrolet China Cup.
"The players love coming to China because we know the fan base and the country. The fans are fanatical and it's a great chance to see them first hand," Giggs told Sky Sports News.
United will also travel to South Africa as part of their pre-season tour.
