Paul Heckingbottom's men will also travel to Nethermoor Park to take on local side Guiseley AFC on July 26, before hosting their only home game of pre-season on July 29 as they welcome Spanish side Las Palmas to West Yorkshire.
Saturday July 21 has also been pencilled in the diary as a potential date for a pre-season fixture but United are yet to confirm an opposition. The game though, if played, will take place away from home due to the pitch at Elland Road being relaid.
