Rosenborg host Manchester United in a pre-season friendly on Friday, July 24, 2026, at Lerkendal Stadion in Trondheim, kicking off in the early-to-mid afternoon local time. The match is part of the Club Friendlies, with the current head-to-head record standing at one win for Rosenborg and none for United from their previous meeting. It’s a useful early test for United as they build up their fitness and combinations ahead of the new Premier League season, while for Rosenborg it’s a high-profile warm-up fixture and a big occasion for the home crowd against one of English football’s most storied clubs.
On the team news front, Rosenborg will be without Adrian Pereira and Jonas Svensson through injury, while Manchester United are missing Benjamin Sesko and Matthijs de Ligt, also through injury. United’s squad has been going through pre-season minutes after a recent outing against Brighton, with players like Senne Lammens, Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martínez, Patrick Dorgu, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo among those featuring recently, so expect Ruben Amorim to rotate heavily and give more fringe players and academy prospects minutes against a Rosenborg side that will look to use home advantage to make life uncomfortable for a United team still finding its rhythm.
