Ex-Celtic and Leicester winger Steve Guppy, former Whites striker Brian Deane and midfielder Craig Hignett have all been added to the squad for the trip to Sweden to play against local opposition, first against FC Bodens (14th) and then FK Pitea (17th).

Guppy is available on a Bosman free transfer and Deane, who was at Elland Road between 1993 and 1997, was at West Ham before being released last season.

And former Middlesbrough, Barnsley and Leicester midfielder Craig Hignett has been training with United this week.
