Jose wants team to bond in China

Manager Jose Mourinho believes Manchester United's preseason tour of China this month, which will see it face Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, will give the players an opportunity to forge closer bonds.

United's first game under Mourinho will be against last season's Bundesliga runner-up Dortmund in the International Champions Cup in Shanghai on July 22.

The 53-year-old Portuguese manager will also renew hostilities with old adversary Pep Guardiola, who replaced Manuel Pellegrini as City's manager, on June 25 in Beijing.
