A Test in Norway
Manchester United is set to play a friendly against Rosenborg in Norway as part of its preseason preparations, a match that will be overseen by interim manager Michael Carrick.
The Red Devils’ most recent outing ended in a 1–0 defeat to Wrexham, a game in which a largely youthful side took the field after senior stalwarts such as Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo and Senne Lammens were still on vacation following the World Cup.
Carrick has indicated that the Norway fixture will provide an opportunity to evaluate younger prospects while also giving minutes to new signing Andrey Santos, who is expected to make his first appearance for the club.
Fans can look forward to seeing Bryan Mbeumo, Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee in action, while the presence of the Brazilian midfielder adds another layer of intrigue to the encounter.
The game in Norway not only serves as a tactical warm‑up but also as a chance for the club to build chemistry ahead of a demanding domestic and European schedule.
