Manchester United Thrash Rosenborg 5-0 for First Pre-Season Victory Under Michael Carrick
Manchester United secured their first win of the 2026/27 pre-season campaign with a commanding 5-0 victory over Rosenborg in Trondheim, delivering an impressive performance under manager Michael Carrick.
After suffering a defeat to Wrexham six days earlier, United responded in style with a dominant display that highlighted both the team’s growing confidence and Carrick’s evolving tactical approach. Several players produced standout performances as the Red Devils controlled the match from start to finish.
The game also showcased the strength of Manchester United’s renowned Carrington academy, with a number of young talents making a positive impact. However, despite the convincing win, questions still remain over the future and development of one highly rated teenage prospect.
The emphatic result marks a significant step forward in United’s preparations for the new season as Carrick continues to shape his squad and playing style.
