The invitational fixture, which has seen the likes of Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Ajax take part in previous years, is scheduled to happen on Tuesday, July 26 (kick-off 8pm local time).
United’s only competitive meetings with the Portuguese outfit came at the quarter-final stage of the Europa League in the 2012/13 season, in which Alan Pardew’s side lost 4-2 on aggregate over two legs.
The first leg took place at the Estadio da Luz. Papiss Cisse handed the Magpies the lead after 12 minutes but lost 3-1 after goals from Rodrigo, Lima and Oscar Cardozo.
At St James’ Park, Cisse’s strike on 71 minutes threatened a comeback from Newcastle, however a late goal from Eduardo Salvio ended all hope in stoppage time.
