Preview
As ever with pre-season clashes, much of the focus will be on how the new personnel at the various clubs get on.
Indeed, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will likely face up to former club Borussia Dortmund as a United player in the tournament opener on Friday.
However, the more intriguing places to look at in this year's tournament could be the dugouts given the amount of new managers set to be on show.
Jose Mourinho is now in charge at United and will look to experiment with his new squad in their matches in China—Bleacher Report's Sam Tighe recently examined how he might set the Red Devils out:
After their clash with Dortmund, United take on local rivals City, and their Portuguese manager will renew his ongoing battle with new Sky Blues boss Pep Guardiola.
The pair were involved in some feisty clashes when they were both working in La Liga—Mourinho at Real, Guardiola at Barcelona—and undoubtedly the July 25 Manchester derby in Beijing will be a hotly-contested affair.
Elsewhere, Antonio Conte is newly installed at Chelsea—who will face Liverpool, Real and Milan—and will be looking to implement a new system, likely similar to that which so impressed with Italy at Euro 2016.
Outside of the English clubs, the ICC also sees the return to management of Carlo Ancelotti in his fledgling career as Bayern boss.
The Italian had been out of a job since he left Real in May 2015 but has stepped into Guardiola's shoes at Bayern, and it will be fascinating to see how the German champions fare against Milan, Inter and, intriguingly, Madrid.
Similarly, the fate of Leicester will be intriguing to watch as the surprise Premier League champions of 2015-16 take on Celtic, Barcelona and PSG—who also have a new manager in the shape of Unai Emery.
As suggested by Betfred's Twitter poll, not many people are predicting the Foxes to fare as well again in 2016-17, but good performances against top-quality opposition could prompt a re-think from some:
The quality on show at the 2016 ICC is set to be quite staggering, and there should be some hugely entertaining matches.
With some of the best sides in the world coming together there is sure to be drama as preparations continue for the start of the respective new league seasons.
