Live updates and analysis from Man United's opening pre-season friendly against Rosenborg in Norway.
Manchester United will be targeting a winning start to their pre-season preparations when they face Rosenborg at the Lerkendal Stadion this teatime, kick-off 5pm BST.players reported back to Carrington for the start of pre-season training last Monday and will now put what they have been working on into practice. Managerhas traveled to Norway with a 25-man squad and is expected to hand out minutes to as many players as possible.
Toby Collyer is captaining United this half after signing a new contract last week. It’s his first senior appearance for the club. Ty has hopefully listed the second XI in his notepad.Here we go for the second half... The outfield has been changed completely - only Vitek wasn't substituted - and we'll confirm the team for the second half in a moment.
Wheatley, the striker, did well there to create a minor opening with his pressing and then a decent cross that no one anticipated.Probably no surprise Rosenborg are looking sharper, they are midway through their season and they played a league match on Friday. They return to domestic duty on Sunday. They’ve been the better team in a game that is just screaming pre-season at the moment.This should not be marked as a first team friendly and it has been a sterile first 25 minutes.
Mount has got involved a couple of times and is trying to assert himself. As irregularly as he has played for United, he doesn’t go into hiding.Rosenborg have the ball in the back of the net but it's offside - only just. It's been a sluggish start from United and they're clearly just finding their feet in the opening stages.
Ten Hag brought some clarity to his role after he was appointed two years ago but there has been obvious uncertainty over Fletcher’s position since Ineos intended to completely change the structure.
