Manchester United faced a disappointing start to their preseason campaign with a 1-0 loss against Norwegian side Rosenborg. The game appeared to be heading towards a goalless draw until Noah Holm scored with the last kick of the game, securing the victory for the hosts.
The team’s lackluster performance can be attributed to the absence of key players who are yet to return following the summer’s European Championship and Copa América. The young side, led by manager Erik ten Hag, struggled to find their footing against Rosenborg.
Czechia goalkeeper Radek Vítek emerged as the standout player for United, making a series of impressive saves to keep Rosenborg at bay. Despite his efforts, the team was outshot 22-5, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities.
Preseason Preparations
United’s preseason preparations continue with a friendly match against Rangers in Scotland before heading to the U.S. for a tour. The team will face Arsenal and Real Betis in California before returning to England for a final warmup match against Liverpool.
The team is gearing up for the Community Shield clash against Manchester City on August 10, followed by the start of the Premier League campaign on August 16. United will face Fulham in their opening fixture, looking to put their preseason struggles behind them and focus on a successful season ahead.
