Rosenborg vs Manchester United Prediction
Troillongan have lost two of their last three league games, conceding nine goals, and will look to improve upon that record. They will play after just a three-day break and head coach Alfred Johansson is likely to rest key players in favor of the Eliteserien games next week.
The Red Devils play their first game of the pre-season and will aim to leave a good account of themselves. Erik ten Hag will have Casemiro, Mason Mount, and Marcus Rashford available, while Jadon Sancho, Antony and Andre Onana have been left out of the squad as they are working on individual programs.
United have a clear advantage in terms of squad quality and should be able to make the most of it to eke out a narrow win.
