The visit will represent the second time that Man Utd have played in Shanghai following their first match here in 1999, a game that the English side won 2-0 with goals from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \">  \t<strong>The first match in 1999<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  \tIt remains to be seen exactly how many of the side&#39;s star players will appear in the city this time round, with the match far more of a marketing exercise than a serious pre-season warm up. Nevertheless, the local press is already talking up the prospect of reignited Premier League rivalries between the Manchester side and Shenhua&#39;s Nicolas Anelka and potential new recruit Didier Drogba.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \">  \t<strong>Drogba(L) and Anelka(R)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  \tUnfortunately, one name who may well be on the team sheet is that of Shenhua owner Zhu Jun. The controversial figure named himself in a Shenhua side yet again yesterday as the Shanghai team played out a 1-1 draw with an Argentinian XI in front of new manager Sergio Batista.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \">  \t<strong>Zhu Jun&#8211;the owner of Shenhua Football Club<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  \tZhu invited ridicule in 2007 when he appeared in a friendly against Liverpool before being hauled off after five minutes. He played the entire first half on May 31st(wearing number 11, the shirt supposedly reserved for Drogba), possibly as a warm up to pulling on a Shenhua shirt again to play Man Utd on Wednesday 25 July.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3648177591\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United will come!   \tShanghai Shenhua will host Manchester United at Shanghai Stadium in July as the English Premier League side stop off in China as part of their pre-season tour of Asia.
