Manchester United have reportedly agreed to take on Leeds United in a pre-season friendly in Australia.

The two clubs have formed a fierce rivalry in English football, but the teams have only squared off on two occasions since 2004 due to Leeds'a relegation to the Championship.

However, according to The World Game, the next showdown will be held at the Optus Stadium in Perth during Man United's pre-season tour in July.

The report suggests that the Premier League giants will take on Perth Glory on July 13, before facing second-tier outfit Leeds four days later.

An official announcement is expected to be made on Wednesday.
