-----------------------------

Manchester United will look to bounce back from a 1-0 preseason defeat to Wrexham when they face Norwegian side Rosenborg on Friday as preparations for the 2026/27 season continue. Rosenborg head into the friendly with confidence after securing an impressive 3-0 league victory over Start.

Team Analysis:

Rosenborg head into Friday's friendly in strong form after winning three straight matches, including a memorable 1-0 victory over Manchester United in their previous meeting in 2024. Meanwhile, the Red Devils are aiming to recover from a disappointing loss to Wrexham as they continue integrating new signings and building momentum ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Player Situation:

Rosenborg are expected to field a strong lineup despite injury concerns surrounding Dino Islamovic, with Amin Chiakha and Emil Konradsen Ceide set to lead the attack. Manchester United will again be without several senior internationals after the 2026 World Cup, but a mix of returning first-team players, promising academy talents, and new signing Tynan Thompson could feature in the squad.

Result Prediction:

Rosenborg enter the friendly with strong momentum and the advantage of being in the middle of their domestic season, making them a tough opponent for Manchester United. Even so, United's superior squad depth and individual quality could be enough to edge a closely contested match.

Predicted Result: Rosenborg 1-2 Manchester United.
