Manchester United XI vs Rosenborg: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for friendly today

The 15-year-old wonderkid has been making waves with his performances both in training and in the academy teams at Old Trafford, with the potential now for first-team minutes as he makes the trip to Norway with Michael Carrick’s first-team squad on Friday.Carrick played different teams in each half of that game, and can be expected to repeat the trick against Rosenborg.A few of his players remain unavailable, though. Benjamin Sesko is still shaking off a shin injury, while Matthijs de Ligt is in recovery after undergoing back surgery. New goalkeeper Karl Darlow is also recovering from a minor procedure performed at the end of last season.Carrick named a team of predominantly first-team players from the off against Wrexham. Changes can be expected against Rosenborg, but he will be keen to keep his main core playing together.History beckons: JJ Gabriel looks set to make his Manchester United debut aged just 15GettyAs such, expect summer signing Andrey Santos to continue in midfield, though his partner Mason Mount could make way for young Tyler Fletcher. Recent arrival Youri Tielemans is yet to join up following the World Cup with Belgium.Joshua Zirkzee is still linked with a move away from United this summer but got the nod up top against Wrexham and should keep his place. On the flanks, Patrick Dorgu and Bryan Mbeumo will relish the chance to get more minutes in the legs.Harry Amass impressed after replacing Luke Shaw in Finland and may have earned himself a start at left-back here.Predicted Man Utd XI vs Rosenborg (4-2-3-1): Heaton; Yoro, Heaven, Maguire, Amass; Santos, Mount; Dorgu, J Fletcher, Mbeumo; ZirkzeeInjured: De Ligt, Sesko, DarlowTime and date: 5pm BST on Friday July 24, 2026Venue: Lerkendal Stadion, Trondheim
