Team Previews
Rosenborg will host Manchester United in a club friendly match at Lerkendal Stadion on Monday, July 15, 2024, at 9:30 PM local time (16:00 UTC). This match presents an exciting opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their strategies and assess their squads ahead of the upcoming season.
Rosenborg enters the game with a mixed bag of recent performances. They have recorded two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five matches. A notable 4-1 defeat to Sarpsborg 08 and a 4-2 loss to Viking highlight some defensive vulnerabilities, but victories against Odds Ballklubb and Kristiansund BK indicate their capability to bounce back. A 1-1 draw against Fredrikstad rounds out their recent form. Rosenborg will aim to leverage home advantage and the support of their fans to put up a strong performance against the English giants.
Manchester United, on the other hand, comes into this friendly with a somewhat inconsistent record as well. Their last five matches include a notable 1-2 victory over rivals Manchester City and a solid 2-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion. However, they also experienced a heavy 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace and narrow losses to Arsenal and Newcastle United. The Red Devils will look to use this friendly as a chance to build cohesion and momentum, especially with key players potentially being rested or tested in different roles.
Both teams have a few injury concerns. Rosenborg's Jonathan Augustinsson is doubtful due to a thigh injury, which could affect their defensive setup. For Manchester United, Harry Maguire is dealing with a muscle injury, and his availability remains uncertain. This match provides a valuable opportunity for squad rotation and giving minutes to younger or fringe players.
As with most friendlies, the emphasis will be on experimenting with tactics and giving players much-needed game time rather than the final result. Fans can expect to see a mix of established stars and emerging talents on both sides, contributing to an entertaining and competitive match. The predicted lineups will be available a few days before the match, with the actual starting XI being confirmed approximately an hour before kickoff.
