Inter Pre-Season 2019: Where to Watch I Nerazzurri Play This Summer
As ever, it seems, Inter had a turbulent season.
They made a forgettable appearance in the Champions League, crashing out at the group stages, controversial striker Mauro Icardi was stripped of his captaincy in February and subsequently disappeared from the team until April, and they left it until the last day of the season to qualify for the Champions League.
Despite doing a commendable job over the last couple of seasons, Luciano Spalletti was dismissed in favour of Antonio Conte. It is hoped that, with Conte at the helm, Inter will once again challenge for Scudetti and become Champions League regulars.
In preparation for the upcoming season, Inter will play all their friendlies overseas. Here's a look at who, when and where Inter will be playing this summer...

Kicking off their pre-season, Inter will face Ole Gunnar Solskjær's Manchester United at the National Stadium in Kallang, Singapore as part of the International Champions Cup.
Inter's last competitive match with the Red Devils was back in March 2009 when United beat them 2-0 in the last 16 of the Champions League.
It could be an interesting match up as United striker Romelu Lukaku has been linked with the Italian side and could well be wearing the colours of the Nerazzurri by the time this fixture takes place.

In their final International Champions Cup match, Inter will play Champions League finalists Tottenham Hotspur at the latter's new stadium in north London.
The two sides last met in the group stages of last season's Champions League, where the Nerazzurri won the home fixture 2-1 but lost the away game 1-0. They have met often over the last few years, with Inter winning three of their last seven meetings against the Lilywhites.
