The Premier League side have only played one friendly so far this summer, a situation in which United found themselves against the Bundesliga outfit when they lost 4-1
Manchester City will take part in only their second pre-season friendly of the summer - more than a week since their first - when they take on Borussia Dortmund in the International Champions Cup on Thursday.
Dortmund, by contrast, have already played five friendlies this summer, the last of which was a 4-1 demolishing of Manchester United, who had also only played one match by the time that they took on the German side.
Pep Guardiola's men will therefore be up against it when the two sides meet at the Universiade Sports Stadium in Shenzhen.
City will be without Kevin De Bruyne, who has been given an extended rest by coach Pep Guardiola, while the likes of Sergio Aguero, Joe Hart, Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Otamendi only joined up with the squad less than a week ago and will have had no match practice thanks to the cancellation of Monday's game against United in Beijing.
