The game between the double winners and the FA Cup holders will be the finale to the Tinapa Business Resorts soccer tournament.

See you in Africa: Harry Redknapp's Pompey and Sir Alex Ferguson's United will face off in Nigeria

The date and venue have still to be arranged with United travelling to Nigeria from South Africa, where they are involved in the Vodacom Challenge tournament from July 19-26.

That tournament will see United take on Kaiser Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

Chief executive David Gill said: "Sir Alex (Ferguson) and the team are always keen to visit new places.

"This match will give an opportunity for our many fans in Nigeria to see the team in the flesh and provide a climax to our summer tour."

Last season United's pre-season tour took them to the far-east with matches in Japan, Korea and China.
