Man Utd to play Japan friendlies
Manchester United will travel to Japan in July to play two friendlies against clubs from the domestic J-League.
 
United will face Kashima Antlers at Tokyo's National Stadium on 28 July before taking on Urawa Reds at Saitama Stadium two days later.
 
United are just one of several top European clubs that will travel to Japan over the summer.
 
Spanish league leaders Barcelona and Italian table-toppers Juventus will also visit later this year.

Uefa has approved a rule to raise the quota of homegrown players in squads competing in European competition.
 
Clubs will be required to have four such players by 2006/2007 and this has to be upped to six the following season and eight by 2008/2009.
 
Half the quota should be trained by the club and the others can come from a club academy in the same country.
 
Meanwhile, Uefa president Lennart Johansson will step down in 2007 - a year later than planned.
 
The new rules will apply to clubs playing in Champions League and Uefa Cup matches but the hope is that domestic national football associations will also implement the stipulation.
 
The move was given the green light by all of Uefa's 52 member associations at a meeting in Tallinn, Estonia, on Thursday.
 
Uefa vice-president Per Ravn Omdal said: "This is of fundamental importance to the future of football.
 
"You may think that four out of 25 is a low number and it is but we want a limited and moderate step here so that the clubs can keep in line with our new rule by 2008-09."
