What is at stake for Rosenborg and Man United?

Man United opened their preparations for the new season with a 1-0 defeat to Wrexham, and Red Devils head coach Carrick will be hoping for improvement in this contest.

The 20-time English champions have games against Rosenborg, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Leeds United and AC Milan before opening their 2026-27 Premier League campaign away to newly-promoted Hull City on August 22.

Andrey Santos made his debut against Wrexham and is again set to be involved here, but Man United will once again be without their World Cup players.

Rosenborg are 13 matches into their Eliteserien campaign, with 15 points leaving them in 10th spot in the division, so they will provide stern opposition for Man United.

As mentioned, the last clash between these two sides came in July 2024, when Noah Holm scoring the only goal of the match in a 1-0 success for Rosenborg.
