Manchester United enjoyed a first win of the summer in Trondheim, Norway on Friday, triumphing 5–0 over local team Rosenborg.
Michael Carrick’s side began preparations for 2026–27 last weekend, losing narrowly to Wrexham in Helsinki, Finland. But where there had been understandable cobwebs to blow away in that match, this was a much more polished performance against a Rosenborg team that is actually in full flight because of how Norway’s domestic soccer calendar works.
