Rosenborg vs Manchester United prediction 24.07.2026 | Friendlies

Rosenborg BK enters this one on the back of a dominant domestic momentum swing following their convincing 3-0 victory away against IK Start.

The Trollungen have successfully shaken off a mid-season slump, managing a three-game winning streak while keeping a clean sheet in each of the last two.

Freyr Alexandersson’s men are turning the Lerkendal Stadion back into a genuine fortress, having suffered just a single defeat in their last seven home matches while racking up four dominant victories.

Up front, the main man is rising striker Amin Chiakha, who enters the tie in blistering form after netting a brilliant brace last weekend to bring his season tally to 5 goals. Tactically, the squad expects a fully fit core to challenge the English visitors.

Manchester United enters this one on the back of a disappointing start to their summer schedule following a slender 1-0 defeat against Wrexham in Helsinki.

The Red Devils are strictly focused on building fitness and tactical sharpness during this Scandinavian tour rather than focusing heavily on raw results.

Michael Carrick’s men will treat this trip to Norway as a major step forward after splitting their squad into two separate experimental elevens over each half last weekend. Finding form on the road remains an early priority for the English heavyweights, who are currently winless across their travel fixtures this pre-season.

Up front, the main man is Marcus Rashford, who has officially returned to the club looking to spearhead the attack. The squad faces notable absentees as several international stars like Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Lisandro Martínez remain on post-World Cup breaks.
