It’s then a busy schedule for the U’s, who are at Solihull Moors this afternoon, play Exeter City behind closed doors, and make the trip to Mansfield Town over the next week.

United round off pre-season with home fixtures against Southampton and Palermo.

The Championship season is now just three weeks away. It’s been a whirlwind summer, condensed by the play-off campaign, but football is back.Well, club football anyway.

Catch up on all the key bits in this week’s newsletter below.
