Manchester United will continue their pre-season preparations for the 2026-27 season with a friendly match against Norwegian team Rosenborg on Friday. The Red Devils faced a setback in their first summer friendly, losing 1-0 to Wrexham. In contrast, Rosenborg was active in the Eliteserien on the same day, achieving a convincing 3-0 win over Start. Currently, Rosenborg has played 13 matches in the Eliteserien, accumulating 15 points, which places them in 10th position, 10 points behind fourth-placed Lillestrom. After a brief hiatus, Freyr Alexandersson's team resumed play on July 12, securing a 3-0 victory against Kristiansund and following that up with another 3-0 win over Start. Earlier in the month, they also triumphed 2-1 against Molde in a friendly. This match will pose a significant challenge for Manchester United, marking the fourth friendly encounter between the two clubs. The most recent meeting occurred in July 2024, where Noah Holm netted the sole goal, leading to a 1-0 victory for Rosenborg against an Erik ten Hag-managed United. Rosenborg has an important league match scheduled against Fredrikstad on July 27, but their primary focus will likely be on the high-profile friendly with Manchester United. Following their defeat to Wrexham, United will look to improve, and they have several upcoming matches against Rosenborg, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Leeds United, and AC Milan before kicking off their 2026-27 Premier League season away at newly-promoted Hull City on August 22.
