Manchester United travel to Sweden to face Leeds United in their first friendly of the summer on Saturday.
Ruben Amorim’s side face the Whites in Stockholm before travelling to the United States to face set ham United, Bournemouth and Everton.
The Red Devils then return to England to face Fiorentina in a friendly, before hosting Arsenal on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
Amorim took charge of United in November last year, but failed to oversee much improvement during his first six months in charge.
The ex-Sporting CP boss will be desperate to turn his side’s fortunes around, but in the meantime it has emerged that United are keen on a Ligue 1 star.
As per CaughtOffside, the Manchester outfit are monitoring Lyon midfielder Corentin Tolisso.

The report claims that United are keeping tabs on the Frenchman and have made initial contact with his representatives about a possible move.
Spanish side Atletico Madrid are also said to be interested in the central midfielder, who joined Lyon from German side Bayern Munich in 2022 having previously spent time with the club as a youngster.
He has now played 270 times for the French side across all competitions, scoring 42 goals and registering 30 assists.
Tolisso himself is said to admire the project taking place at Old Trafford, but the report says that he will not push Lyon for a move away from the club.
The France international is under contract at Lyon until the end of the 2026/27 campaign.
Man United have already lost midfielder Christian Eriksen since the end of last season after the Dane’s contract expired, and it appears that Amorim and those in charge of the club’s recruitment are keen to bolster their midfield options.
