Jose Mourinho's first game for Man United a friendly vs. Wigan

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho's first game in his new club's preseason schedule will be an away date against Wigan Athletic -- which has been confirmed for July 16, kicking off at 13.30 BST.

While Mourinho's predecessor Louis van Gaal favoured a condensed preseason programme, the new United manager has given himself an extra chance to look at the players at his disposal with the local game at the DW Stadium.

It follows United adding the game against Galatasaray in Gothenburg to their preseason schedule, which is taking place on July 30.

The summer fixture list had already included an eight-day tour to China at the end of July, when United will face Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City.

The two other domestic games that United pay before the Premier League season kicks off are Wayne Rooney's testimonial against Everton at Old Trafford on Aug. 3 then the Community Shield match against Leicester City at Wembley on Aug. 7.
