Swiss officials have offered no explanation as to why the competition, in which United were due to take on Bayer Leverkusen, Boavista and Servette on July 22nd and 23rd, has been scrapped.

"We have been fine-tuning our pre-season campaign for weeks now, so to be let down in this way is very disappointing," Leeds boss Peter Reid told the clubs official website.

"We are also very mindful of the many Leeds fans who have made independent travel plans hoping to see us in action in Switzerland. This is a big let-down for them too.

"In the meantime I can only assure all our supporters that the tournament, and the events now surrounding it, are completely out of our hands."

Leeds officials are now seeking alternatives for pre-season fixtures.
