Rosenborg vs Manchester United LIVE!

Man Utd were beaten away at Rosenborg to begin their pre-season campaign.

The Norwegian side hit the woodwork four times on Monday evening as they dominated the friendly yet struggled to breach the defence of the impressive Radek Vitek. That was until the 93rd minute when Noah Holm slammed home a deserved winner.

Erik ten Hag was without the bulk of his first-choice squad but still had Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount, Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka in his starting line-up for what quickly proved a tough assignment against a team midway through their Eliteserien season.

And the referee blows his whistle!

United beaten in Norway.

GGGOOOAAALLL!!!! Rosenborg 1-0 Man Utd

18:52 , Marc Mayo

At last a breakthrough for Rosenborg!

Thoroughly deserved as a shot bounces off Holm and he lashes it home.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 90+2 mins

18:50 , Marc Mayo

A bright finish being threatened here by United but a cross is too deep.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 90 mins

18:49 , Marc Mayo

Three added minutes.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 88 mins

18:47 , Marc Mayo

The stats read 19 shots to five and 55 per cent possession in the favour of Rosenborg on what has been perhaps a more difficult evening for United than they had expected.

Erik ten Hag will no doubt assure fans that the difference in the two teams’ seasons, with the hosts midway through their campaign, is a vital factor in judging the result and useful in gearing United up for the new campaign.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 86 mins

18:44 , Marc Mayo

Too easy for Rosenborg as a cross reaches Holte at the far post and that man Vitek is there again to make the save.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 84 mins

18:43 , Marc Mayo

Ogunneye caught on the ball but he recovers well to turn a cross behind for a corner.

Rosenborg continue to be on top as we near the end of the 90 minutes. Corner cleared.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 79 mins

18:38 , Marc Mayo

Good work from Holm to chase down Vitek and divert his clearance back out for a goal kick.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 75 mins

18:33 , Marc Mayo

A flock of seagulls has descended on the Lerkendal Stadion as a group of fans attempt to rally an atmosphere.

Just 15 minutes left to find a winner.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 70 mins

18:28 , Marc Mayo

Off the post for a fourth time!

Frederiksen races along the byline before shooting low from an impossible angle and smacking the outside of the woodwork.

Up the other end, a low effort by Ennis is parried well.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 69 mins

18:27 , Marc Mayo

The hosts are once again having the better of the play following those changes, which came after the friendly had lost any impetus.

This crowd appears to be pretty much all United fans, with a total lack of atmosphere as the Rosenborg ultras appear to have stayed away. And there’s been very little for those of a red persuasion to shout about.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 64 mins

18:22 , Marc Mayo

Vitek tips Borkeeiet’s shot onto the angle of post and bar!

Rosenborg hit the woodwork for a third time after a neat cutback is met by the unmarked midfielder.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 62 mins

18:20 , Marc Mayo

The hour mark passes to herald a spate of Rosenborg substitutions.

Let’s see how this friendly unfolds now it’s effectively a youth game.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 60 mins

18:18 , Marc Mayo

Ennis gets an attack going from the left wing for United and cuts inside to try and create some space.

In reality, he never manages to do so and shoots anyway with better options available for a pass. A defender closes it down.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 58 mins

18:16 , Marc Mayo

Delightful piece of skill by Frederiksen down Rosenborg’s left to nutmeg Amass and dart into the box.

Yet, from such a tight angle, he chooses to shoot and scuffs a shot into the side netting. A waste.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 57 mins

18:15 , Marc Mayo

The tempo has really dropped off, which is at least giving United more time on the ball to try and craft something.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 52 mins

18:09 , Marc Mayo

Interesting challenge here for the Red Devils’ kids. This is still largely a first-choice Rosenborg line-up, and one which dominated the first half.

However, they also have a league match against Lillestrom on Sunday so perhaps they’ll switch their focus having played well to this point.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 49 mins

18:07 , Marc Mayo

Here’s the second-half XI for United: Vitek; Ogunneye, Bennett, Aljofree, Amass; Collyer, Oyedele; Fletcher, Ennis, Scanlon; Hugill

Not quite an entirely new team then as the goalkeeper has stayed on.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 47 mins

18:05 , Marc Mayo

First things first, three Rosenborg changes. Sandberg, Frederiksen and Jenssen on for Tangvik, Nemcik and Nypan.

Kick-off!

18:03

Lots of changes for United which we’ll bring you once we’ve counted them all!

Goalless in Norway as the second half begins.

Man Utd well off the pace

17:55 , Marc Mayo

It was always going to be a tricky match for the Red Devils, in their first pre-season game against a team midway through their season.

This is also a first-choice Rosenborg line-up and they have dominated with a goal narrowly ruled out for offside and two shots against the woodwork.

The stat sheet reads 12 shots to three as United have struggled to deal with quick breaks and switches of the play, typical of a team naturally lacking any degree of sharpness.

Let’s see how the second half pans out with both teams likely to make several changes.

First-half highlights

17:48 , Marc Mayo

This is just one of the many saves Vitek has produced to keep United level in the half.

Half-time!

17:47 , Marc Mayo

The first 45 minutes is complete in Trondheim.

Rosenborg very much the better side, United second best in all areas.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 44 mins

17:45

Vitek called into action once more!

A smart cross from the left reaches Broholm, who takes his time before picking his spot - only for the keeper to parry well at his near post.

Vitek claims the corner nice and easy.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 42 mins

17:43 , Marc Mayo

Off the crossbar!

Broholm into the box and he goes with the chip... but narrowly misses out on the opening goal!

Another scramble in the box ensues and United manage to avoid conceding thanks to a smart stop by Vitek on Nypan.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 41 mins

17:42 , Marc Mayo

Casemiro finds Rashford drifting in from the left flank and he goes early with the shot. Blocked.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 40 mins

17:40 , Marc Mayo

First shot of the game for United as Wheatley finds space inside the box and shoots straight at the keeper.

Good power behind it, not quite the accuracy though. Williams was also free to his right.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 38 mins

17:39 , Marc Mayo

United escape another direct counter-attack from the hosts, their lack of fitness is really showing in the transition.

Nemcik meanwhile is lucky to dodge a second booking for another clumsy foul.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 34 mins

17:36 , Marc Mayo

Not one but two key saves by Vitek!

United all at sea as Broholm is fed a good pass before shooting at the goalkeeper, then a cross from the right bounces off Fish and Vitek manages to divert it away from goal.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 33 mins

17:34 , Marc Mayo

Reitan-Sunde leads a break down the Rosenborg left before he drags a shot wide from 18 yards out.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 28 mins

17:29 , Marc Mayo

Off the post!

A curler from the right flank hits the United post.

It was Broholm with it, after a lovely crossfield pass, and the same player takes a yellow card for a cynical foul moments later.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 25 mins

17:26 , Marc Mayo

Nice little dribble by Selnaes ends with a blocked shot.

Rosenborg certainly the sharper of the two teams so far and United are struggling to deal with their press.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 19 mins

17:20 , Marc Mayo

Booking for Nemcik for a wild challenge on Casemiro. Lunging for a loose ball, he misses and connects with the Brazilian’s shin.

Fortunately not enough force to be a properly dangerous tackle but that could have been a red in a competitive game.

Casemiro looks like he’ll continue after some treatment.

Time for a water break in the meantime.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 17 mins

17:18 , Marc Mayo

Marcus Rashford draws an ‘ahh’ from the crowd by leaving his man for dead with a sharp turn of pace, but a strong slide tackle ends his run.

Still yet to see United create a chance.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 12 mins

17:14

The Norwegians come down the right flank but good work from Evans then Casemiro to mop up.

Hannibal wins a free-kick in the middle of the park to relieve the pressure.

Goal disallowed!

17:11 , Marc Mayo

This is a good case study of a team with plenty of minutes in the bank versus a team with none, as another dangerous Rosenborg ball into the box is cleared.

A deep cross to Saeter is controlled well and scored but the flag is up! That was a very tight call...

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 6 mins

17:07 , Marc Mayo

United set up in a 4-3-3 today with Mount and Hannibal advanced ahead of Casemiro in midfield.

Mount looks to pick Wheatley out with a ball spread over the top, but it’s just overhit.

Rosenborg 0-0 Man Utd | 3 mins

17:05 , Marc Mayo

Bright start from the hosts, moving the ball quickly and Nypan’s shot from range deflects wide off Fish.

A good corner finds Ceide but he heads over from close range.

Not a huge surprise if Rosenborg can kick into gear quicker here, given they’re mid-season as opposed to pre-season.

Man Utd unveil new appointment

16:30 , Marc Mayo

Before we get going, a new addition to the Manchester United staff has just been announced.

Jelle ten Rouwelaar arrives as the new goalkeeping coach, the 43-year-old having previously been on the staff at Ajax, Burnley and NAC Breda where he spent the bulk of his playing career.

He joins Rene Hake and Ruud van Nistelrooy in joining a refreshed backroom team behind Erik ten Hag this summer.

Rosenborg vs Man Utd | Countdown to kick-off!

16:20 , Marc Mayo

We are closing in on 5pm so just 40 or so minutes to wait for this game to begin. Warm-ups are starting as the fans begin to file into the stadium.

A look at the Rosenborg XI

16:11 , Marc Mayo

Ole Saeter is the big threat for Rosenborg as their top scorer this season and he starts for the first time since May after suffering a hamstring injury.

Captain Markus Henriksen previously played in England for Hull and Norwich but misses out due to injury.

Only three changes from the team which lost to Sarpsborg in the Eliteserien on Friday night, and two of those are returning regulars, so a strong XI named by manager Alfred Johansson.

Mix of youth and experience in the United XI

16:04 , Marc Mayo

Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount and Casemiro among the first-team reguars in the United starting line-up today.

Jonny Evans starts at centre-back after extending his contract alongside Will Fish, 21, who spent the last two years on loan at Hibernian.

Sam Murray was the regular left-back for the Under-21s last season and Hannibal Mejbri will be eager to stake his claim for a spot in the squad after a quiet loan stint at Sevilla.

Ethan Williams and Ethan Wheatley are both aged 18 and will line up in attack, the latter having made his first-team debut in April.

Rosenborg vs Man United: Head to head (h2h) history and results

The two teams have never previously met competitively.

They have played out two friendlies however, with United winning 3-2 in 1992 and 8-0 in 1977.

Rosenborg vs Man United: Friendly score prediction today

14:32 , Jonathan Gorrie

Friendlies produce all sorts of scorelines but this first outing should be fairly level-headed.

A 1-1 draw.

Man United team news vs Rosenborg today

14:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

Naturally, none of the United players involved in either Euro 2024 or the Copa America will travel to Norway.

The squad making the flight north predominantly features a number of youngsters, such as James Scanlon, Habeeb Ogunneye, Will Fish and Harry Amass.

Ten Hag is expected to play two different XIs across the two halves with senior stars such as Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount and Aaron Wan-Bissaka available.

Harry Maguire has featured in pre-season training but he isn’t in the squad after injury ended his 2023-24 season early.

New signing Joshua Zirkzee is not involved.
