00:00:00Because they are in the middle of the season their fitness will be far superior and it's how Manchester United handle that
00:00:07really interesting to see how this pans out and indeed how the
00:00:11youngsters in Manchester United red take their opportunity today in the spotlight and
00:00:17Of course good to see those familiar names
00:00:20The likes of Casimir on Rashford on the team sheet as well
00:00:24The hard graft for the long campaign ahead starts here
00:00:28Preseason is go
00:00:29The next few weeks and games will tell us plenty about the season ahead as the minutes are put into the legs and the squad
00:00:37starts to take shape
00:00:39United begin proceedings in familiar colors, but with a brand new look
00:00:42So the season may be a little while away, but the new threads are being shown off already. So, let's see how they get on
00:00:48Yeah, they look very smart. I have to say
00:00:51whoever
00:00:53decides on
00:00:55The design of the kit has done really well in pre in
00:01:00Previous seasons and this one is no exception
00:01:03Just a reminder from the off that today there are no names on the backs of the Manchester United shirts and the numbers are for
00:01:09Today, so don't rush out necessarily and buy a shirt with the squad number of the player
00:01:14You can see today because those numbers are not necessarily the numbers
00:01:18We shall see when the campaign gets underway always important to underline that during preseason
00:01:23Of course, the same will be true during the course of the tour as well and the games played in the coming days and weeks
00:01:31I'm just having a look at Manchester United are lining up
00:01:35It's not too unfamiliar
00:01:38Hannibal a little bit further forward than I anticipated. He might be Mason Mount just dropping back
00:01:46Here go the hosts who would love to make an impression on proceedings nice and early here
00:01:51They've got plenty in their locker potentially to trouble this young United side Mason Mount with a touch rather penned in
00:02:00Clearance only falls to Rosenborg who have plenty forward here looking to cause some damage early on
00:02:07He's brought home
00:02:08Who is a tricky winger on the right or the left but starting on the right-hand side today?
00:02:13He's one of those inverted wingers, isn't he that wants to cut in the early strike, which doesn't trouble rather VTEC
00:02:20But certainly got United pulses racing. It will be a corner for Rosenborg within two minutes
00:02:24Yeah, I think it is to be expected that Rosenberg would start the quicker
00:02:30Will fish just gets his head in the way of a strike from near plant
00:02:35I've scored a couple of goals this season already
00:02:39Was more than happy to take aim will fish as you say in the way
00:02:45Those from the back are forward from the corner from the skipper
00:02:51No, very nearly a couple of early tests there for Manchester United defensively that one's sailing over the top
00:02:59An out swinging corner
00:03:01Came to nothing in the end from Sida
00:03:07Wilson promise early on for
00:03:10Norwegian side
00:03:12And just a reminder, of course that as is the case throughout the course of the next few weeks
00:03:17Emu TV the home of Manchester United and the home of Manchester United
00:03:21And the home of Manchester United and the home of Manchester United
00:03:25And just a reminder, of course that as is the case throughout the course of the next few weeks
00:03:29Emu TV the home of Manchester United's preseason games all important to subscribe now to see the games in full including this one
00:03:40Johnny Evans for will fish now for Aaron one berserker
00:03:46Closed down swiftly by right and cinder
00:03:50Another player who can cause problems on the flanks
00:03:56Starting on the left-hand side today
00:03:59Trying to feed the local lad through the middle on the SATA who is the
00:04:05Main goal threat seven goals for the number nine
00:04:08So far this term the one they look for the real focal point
00:04:12yeah, they'll be
00:04:14Probably disappointed the Rosenborg fans over their last
00:04:18good few years
00:04:20Was a time when certainly in the inauguration of the early years of the Champions League that a little bit like Celtic
00:04:26They were really really tough to beat in this stadium, but just couldn't find points on the road
00:04:32They have been one of Norwegians top sides, but not recently
00:04:37And from 1991 through to 2004 they won 13 titles in a row
00:04:42And as you say performed admirably in the Champions League, they reached the quarterfinals in the late 90s
00:04:50Mason Mount dumped to the ground and Manchester United have the ball again. Yeah, it's mountain that is playing alongside
00:04:55Casimiro and then more deeper role
00:05:01And Hannibal pushing up alongside Marcus Rashford and
00:05:07Ethan Williams
00:05:10All important minutes
00:05:13Will be put in the bank today by these Manchester United players Marcus Rashford, of course disappointed not to be involved
00:05:19With England over the course of the summer, but very much raring to go again in red
00:05:27And they've took their way out of trouble here it's Fitech who's gonna have to watch it into the gloves
00:05:31Although he wasn't under any great pressure from those in white
00:05:40Chance for Casimiro to
00:05:43Restart Manchester United Sam Murray as well involved here on the left-hand side
00:05:48Today in that left-back role 19 years of age 20 in a month or two
00:05:54Tenacious character
00:05:57Done really really well, and he's Manchester United career so far
00:06:02He's level time for him to step up now and show the manager
00:06:09We prove with copy menu
00:06:11There is a pathway
00:06:13Mount lovely ball looking for the speed of Ethan Williams
00:06:19Couldn't quite
00:06:21Get there in time. What a goal threat. He was last season for the 18s for the 21s and still just 18 years of age
00:06:29Yeah, I had a marvelous season as did the under 18s as a whole
00:06:36Terrific campaign
00:06:39A
00:06:40cement looking to
00:06:42Try and really get into a rhythm in Manchester United colors after a really tricky campaign last year physically
00:06:53Nice turn from the fan on to sell this who is
00:06:58The person that everything goes through really in the middle of the park for Rosenberg. Yeah, he's the he's the pivot there that hope
00:07:06It's a mistake which could prove costly and a strike which is out via Evans for a corner
00:07:12They are lively in these opening exchanges. Yeah, especially down that right-hand side
00:07:16we seem to have a
00:07:18cluster of players that
00:07:20favor the left foot and
00:07:23With the body movements are stepping inside and that's the second shot. We've seen from virtually the same distance
00:07:29take a deflection
00:07:31couple of warning signs for United already
00:07:35and
00:07:38It's a searching corner as well, which had to be swiped away by Aaron Wanda Sackett
00:07:44He's there again with a more conservative clearance second time rounds
00:07:51And goes Williams he was given a helping hand on the way
00:07:59I think it was it Mason Matt. I think he was being fouled wasn't he when he he flicked that ball on
00:08:06And
00:08:08Hannibal had a
00:08:11Had a lot of SATA shirt there
00:08:16He's from Osaka couldn't thread it through
00:08:21Williams had to slot in to help defensively
00:08:28So often the case in matches
00:08:32In the Premier League that it's Manchester United you have a lot of the ball
00:08:34But in a preseason game against the side already into their rhythm in the campaign. It's quite often the other way. Yeah
00:08:40Yeah, it's to be expected
00:08:43There were 15 games into their season
00:08:46So the levels of fitness are going to be much higher
00:08:49It's just about getting minutes into the legs of these Manchester United players
00:08:54without over-exerting too soon
00:08:57the risk of injury
00:08:59The right hands ball he'll get forwards a fair bit on this left-hand side here he is again
00:09:0626 year old
00:09:08The fair few in this Rosenborg set up who have played
00:09:12For Norway through the age groups if not always all the way up to the senior level
00:09:21Nicely played chance here to stretch the legs again and stretch the United defense. It was Casimir who slipped while clearing
00:09:28Hannibal didn't get to the ball in time and the flag will rise here to stop the Norwegian celebrations
00:09:37Yeah, it's quite clearly offside
00:09:40I've had to done everything right they pushed out
00:09:45It's close it's a lot closer than I thought it was actually
00:09:50Depending on which part of the body you're gonna go with maybe that could be argued for we'll give the
00:09:58Assistant on the far side the benefit of the doubt that she saw what we did
00:10:02Monica look a bird with the flag on that side
00:10:05Eric ten hard fresh from his contract extension, of course starting this
00:10:10preseason campaign
00:10:12with various players back at Carrington going through either individual training programs or
00:10:20Rehab to get over injuries. Yeah to make sure they're really up and running for the start of the new season
00:10:28Casimira
00:10:30Managed to thread the ball through towards Rashford who couldn't quite take it in his stride
00:10:35But made sure there was no way out for Leo Koenig
00:10:40Yeah, that was an opening I think if he had a done he would have got his body across
00:10:46Leo Koenig and there would have been no way back. You just see just miscontrolled it
00:10:51Maybe you might have been better going with his left foot and pushing it more towards the goal
00:10:56Defender would never have had a chance of getting back to him
00:11:00Mount for Casimiro
00:11:02Ethan Wheatley trying to take charge of it
00:11:05Another one of those who
00:11:07Smash the goals in from everywhere really for the youth sides last season
00:11:1118 goals for the under 18s in just 14 starts and a couple of appearances off the bench
00:11:17four goals for the under 21s in
00:11:19Five starts and six substitute appearances knows where to be and knows what to do and he's there
00:11:24Yeah, he certainly does. I watched him score some wonderful goals last season
00:11:30Not only that but he's worked right off the ball as well. It's something to be admired
00:11:34And of course appeared for the first team at the end of last term
00:11:39Johnny Evans with a foot in Rashford in defensive mode
00:11:46Casimiro helps United to get out of a tight corner
00:11:49And
00:11:52Suddenly had two on him there
00:11:56Yeah, I think that's all the manager and and the coaching staff will be looking for is
00:12:01you know getting a feel of the ball and
00:12:03You know trying to get as many passes in as possible
00:12:06I mean
00:12:06you do take positives out of games like this where your fitness isn't up to the level of the opposition because you can work on
00:12:12Your team shape and you can you can work
00:12:15How you would without the ball?
00:12:18Which in this game so far they have for vast quantities
00:12:22It won't always be the case, of course
00:12:26Because I'm here are stepping in to slow down Rosenborg and Hannibal it is who takes a bit of a hit from the skipper
00:12:34Who's known for his cool calm collective play, but he can stick a boot in every now and again. Yeah as we saw
00:12:40Miss control that one Hannibal was in
00:12:48And
00:12:51It was a youth team player here and played in the first team a bit and then left and then returned
00:12:58Experienced on the international stage with Norway as well
00:13:12Right and Sunder back towards Nemchik
00:13:18I'll go again with Cornick
00:13:27Both sides looking to switch the play when possible
00:13:32Wanda Sackett hoping to see this one out nice to get a foot to it, too
00:13:39We talk about this very much of course from a Manchester United point of view
00:13:42But it's worth noting as well that Rosenborg have lost two of their last three games
00:13:48We won the other one in that trio of matches so they need to get back on track a little bit
00:13:56Players need to show individual form and get together as a unit. Oh
00:14:02Yeah, that coach will be looking
00:14:04For some response as well. They had a really good start to the season
00:14:07But it's fizzled out and the languishing at the moment in I think you said 11th Dave didn't yet
00:14:12That's right out of 16. Yeah, so in the top flight not too far away from the
00:14:18the drop zone
00:14:21That one will carry all the way out albeit only for a throw
00:14:27Yeah, they had a wonderful start to the season they won three of the first four league games
00:14:30But I've only won two of the ten since
00:14:38That will be on the mind of
00:14:41Their coach and indeed I suppose that the hierarchy in general the desire to improve is
00:14:46Always there. Yeah, I'm gonna where you are. What you've what you're playing where you're playing
00:14:51And the supporters as well. It's one of the
00:14:54the best supported clubs in Norway
00:14:59If you have the second highest average attendance domestically last season
00:15:06Behind Bram
00:15:08I
00:15:11Such a good strong following but of course the same can be said about Manchester United in these parts. Yeah, of course
00:15:16Such a popular team. Yeah
00:15:21Hannibal trying to break through
00:15:23To join weekly up top. This is Williams
00:15:27Helped on its way towards Casimiro
00:15:31You kept the defender honest
00:15:38You
00:15:46Will fish we spent last season on loan at Hibernian was a regular and a real favorite there north of the border
00:15:58Mount to Rashford
00:16:00A
00:16:03Little bit of skill to just pop it through the legs of corner. He was delighted to be helped out defensively. Yeah clever
00:16:13Too quick for him too clever
00:16:21As a young player in he's relatively young at 23, I suppose although in football terms that's
00:16:26Getting on a bit now, isn't it?
00:16:28But he'll relish the challenge today at least in the first half of taking on Marcus Rashford. There will be
00:16:34Wholesale changes no doubt as the game goes on with this being a preseason game and Manchester United have brought 25 players here
00:16:42to Norway
00:16:46Williams challenge is penalized
00:16:58And
00:17:15Williams with the event and Williams gets in the way weekly trying to help it on
00:17:29Home involved as well
00:17:32We've seen flashes from those in white on both sides of the field no great threat as yet for Radek VTEC
00:17:47Hannibal in the way
00:17:48But then couldn't quite gather it in from Wheatley
00:17:51Yeah, those are the sorts of things that one manager will be looking at especially from the young players
00:17:56See Casimiro, he's yellow carded him
00:18:02He saw it as an opportunity, but you don't really want to see not in a game that doesn't really mean anything
00:18:11He was very high wasn't he on his right leg
00:18:15He watch again as he loses control of the ball
00:18:20That's not nice
00:18:23And any more weight behind him and their leg breakers
00:18:27With Casimiro's foot planted. It's a silly tackle
00:18:31Totally unnecessary, which I think in perhaps slightly different words was what Mason Mount was saying
00:18:39When the challenge was made
00:18:41Came across to have a word
00:18:44We don't tend to see and we certainly don't want to see cards in our preseason game
00:18:48No, sometimes a yellow card in a preseason game is often equal to what you'd see as a red card in a regular season game
00:18:55Definitely wasn't far away
00:18:57No, you don't want to be seeing cards. That is for sure. I
00:19:02Don't think he had much of a choice there. The referee not a good challenge from them chick
00:19:07Casimiro back up and running and as the players take on some fluids, they're great to see a
00:19:13Little glimpse of a certain rude van Nistelrooy who is back in Manchester United colours. There he is again
00:19:19back at the club as a coach and
00:19:22That's quite a mouth-watering
00:19:24Prospect really, isn't it considering how good he was with the ball on the pitch himself?
00:19:28Yeah, he was some player
00:19:30Again, somebody that I used to admire scoring wonderful goals
00:19:36It's a real coup having him back here and
00:19:39some of the young players that are out there you
00:19:42Ethan Wheatley's
00:19:44Williams
00:19:46They can learn a hell of a lot from him
00:19:51And even for the more seasoned attackers it must be
00:19:56something to look forward to to work with a
00:19:59Technician like that the likes of Rasmus Hoyland and Marcus Rashford players like that. Yes, certainly. Yeah, I learned as well. Yeah
00:20:06And
00:20:08Of course Manchester United have a new man in the midst as well
00:20:14With Joshua's X here, of course joining the club
00:20:20Exciting prospect himself. Yeah a player who's already hitting the heights
00:20:24But no doubt will look to get better and better as the years go on only 23
00:20:31And a fellow countryman as well Oh
00:20:34Sniper well, it's
00:20:36Hannibal who managed to find the space after the slip
00:20:40Let him in. It was right and Sundar who was all of a sudden down on the ground and
00:20:50Helens right and managed to steer it out
00:20:56Let's go tackle
00:21:03Mombasaka trying to find a way through helped out by Williams who just ran out of room
00:21:16Such an important part of the under-18s team last season as we mentioned who won their league comfortably with a goal difference of plus 50
00:21:26Managed to win the Premier League Cup as well and won the national playoff in the league beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge
00:21:34The only amazing thing about last season is that they didn't win the Youth Cup
00:21:39Yeah, the Youth Cup ended
00:21:41Swindon or it started really? I mean a way at Swindon a 2-0 defeat having beaten Derby County by a goal to nil and
00:21:47Certainly with the way that the season continued after that you would have expected them to go further
00:21:51Oh cup competitions are funny, aren't they?
00:21:53No
00:21:53They are and I remember the game because
00:21:55Derby gave them a really difficult game at Old Trafford was a tough game a really good game
00:22:00and then they went to Swindon and the pitch was terrible that the weather was poor and they just
00:22:06had all of them pretty much had a had an off night on a bad pitch and
00:22:11conceded to I
00:22:13Have to say very good Coles scored by and I forget his name
00:22:17I knew it was the same centre-forward and they just never recovered from it
00:22:21And it was such a shame because I think they would have had they would have gone and taken the clean sweep
00:22:26They would have won the whole lot. It was so exciting to watch
00:22:30It's crazy to think in their 24 league games last season. The under-18s scored 78 goals amazing
00:22:38I'm not if he tech spent last season out on loan at Quinton and Stanley
00:22:43Where he played his football and a fair few other youngsters
00:22:47On the sidelines for now albeit. I'm sure we'll see them in the second half would love the opportunity to
00:22:53Get some senior football under their belts in the coming campaign
00:22:57Of course they would and this is where it all starts
00:23:01as I mentioned earlier, you know, there are plenty of people that we can call upon but
00:23:06This is where Covey main who started his meteoric rise last season in a game
00:23:12Akin to this and look where it ended for him
00:23:17Playing in a biggest stage in European football for his country
00:23:26We've passed the midway point of the first half
00:23:30Couple of early scares for Manchester United. Otherwise both sides settling into the game without any great threat at either end as yet
00:23:42Casimiro's clearance falls for the host. It's a nice little mazy run and the
00:23:48effort blocked by Johnny Evans
00:23:50And near panic. He chose the wrong option for me
00:23:54He had players to his right hand side and elected to shoot himself when the shot wasn't really on
00:24:01I've been a few spells like this though where United struggle to get the ball away
00:24:05Keeps on coming back at them fish wins the header Hannibal trying to be delicate with his placement
00:24:20Sound this with a nice touch fish emphatically getting it clear
00:24:26Just starting to pen Manchester United back again here. Yeah
00:24:33So this can't thread it through Hannibal Casimiro had company which he wasn't aware of
00:24:41Yeah, you can just see that that's where that I know each inside I'm gonna minute
00:24:48All over which is dealt with by Williams weekly will try and shield it
00:24:52Brings Williams into play right and was desperately trying to stop the counter-attack
00:24:58That's where the demonstrating the fitness where you know, United are still finding the legs
00:25:02This is the very first game and they have been a little bit sloppy with the ball
00:25:06But also the Norwegians have been very quick to recover it
00:25:15It was one of those classic
00:25:17Thou shalt not pass
00:25:19Defensive moments. He had some grass to run into as well, didn't he?
00:25:24Well again, if that is a regular season game, you're probably seeing a yellow card. Definitely. Yeah
00:25:31And of course hot on the heels of the Euros and the Copper America. It's difficult to switch into preseason mode perhaps, but
00:25:40Some really
00:25:42Mouth-watering games ahead in the next few weeks before the season gets under way
00:25:46Manchester United taking on Rangers
00:25:48And Murray field then heading out to the States to Los Angeles to take on Arsenal
00:25:54Real Betis the opponents in San Diego and then South Carolina will host Manchester United against Liverpool
00:26:00Before the Community Shield, of course, and then the Premier League season gets underway at Old Trafford against Fulham
00:26:08All the games on tour
00:26:10Live here on MUTV
00:26:13Yeah, it's not a bad preseason for them. Is it playing
00:26:18the top three in the Premier League
00:26:21That's the the sort of test you want before you go into a campaign
00:26:27And I know that you say that results don't mean anything and to a certain extent they don't but what it does do is
00:26:34It's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's it's
00:26:39what it does do if you can get on to a little bit of a
00:26:43Winning trail before you go into your first game against Fulham then
00:26:49It just makes you feel better
00:26:51That you've had a decent preseason under your belt and you've beaten some very good sides
00:26:56And that can take the that's your mindset then for the for the first game against Fulham
00:27:02Which incidentally was one of the best goals I saw Ruud van Nistelrooy score at Old Trafford was against Fulham. Yeah
00:27:10I'm sure that's replayed in his mind a few times. I'm sure a couple of weeks
00:27:17Rosenborg on the attacks a decent-placed effort and the post saves Manchester United. They're ready to get full stretch
00:27:25Johnny Evans away to Marcus Rashford who will lead the charge away from goal
00:27:31Did he get a touch on that relative etak?
00:27:34It was did I thought he did get a little bit of it. So there you go. There's your booking that you
00:27:40that
00:27:41You thought should have been given for Ethan Wheatley
00:27:46But it was a bit of a Congo wasn't it? Yeah two-man Congo by bro home on Rashford this the effort though
00:27:56Difficult to tell isn't it from that angle whether he did get a fingertip on it. Maybe he didn't
00:28:02Maybe he didn't it was just unlucky from the striker
00:28:10Well, they've certainly come close haven't they they've hit the post they've put one over the bar they've had a few decent efforts blocked
00:28:18Here's Mason Mount
00:28:20Tag set just got a hold of him, which has taken him down looks in some pain as Rashford tries to pick up the baton
00:28:29I'm back by bro. Hall
00:28:31He does well, he's been lively
00:28:34But all their efforts have been pretty similar haven't they right-hand side cutting in on to onto a left foot
00:28:47Now what can they do here Rosenborg trying to overload
00:28:51on that right-hand side
00:28:54Cornet with the ball back in towards the danger man
00:28:59Great save the danger man in terms of getting goals
00:29:01Although we've not seen too much of him in the game thus far all I sat at
00:29:06Great position from Johnny Evans though experience for you
00:29:14Marcus Rashford wins a free kick
00:29:23Some of these challenges though underlines why
00:29:26Managers want to play games against teams who have already started their season doesn't it?
00:29:30They want that competitive edge, which if you play against another team who've only just come back into training
00:29:36You don't necessarily get all the you don't want injuries. No, no, I
00:29:41Totally appreciate that. You know, you want the game to have some sort of a tempo because your fitness then doesn't move on
00:29:47And that's probably why coming to Scandinavia at this time of the year
00:29:50I mean, it's always a good place to come
00:29:52anyway for I would say for Premier League teams because of the the physical nature and the fitness levels of
00:30:00Scandinavian teams in general
00:30:02but certainly when they're in the middle of their season or
00:30:0514 15 games in you are going to see a difference in in fitness and and it's going to help
00:30:12Manchester United
00:30:15Tags it who's popped up with a few goals this season three to his name already
00:30:22The other player who's stood out over on that side Marius Broome has five you can see why the way he plays
00:30:33One besacket
00:30:34Was very calm. I'm not sure he totally knew that
00:30:38His man was right there. He always looks calm
00:30:42Yeah, they are dictating the pace of the game which is what Manchester United won if you were playing a team that was on a
00:30:47similar level it'd be more like a
00:30:50testimonial
00:30:52And that's not what you want. You want the you know, the the opposition levels to increase which is happening
00:30:58Obviously as we go on in preseason
00:31:01And your own stamina levels and that's what they're working the way to
00:31:05And that's what Eric ten hard was urging the young players to do wasn't it when he was talking to Mark and Ronnie
00:31:09earlier on pitch side
00:31:11urging them to keep the tempo high to take the opportunity here to
00:31:16Show the crowd here and indeed obviously he and his coaching staff what they can do
00:31:22And in some cases these
00:31:25Head coaches as well will be wanting
00:31:2790 minutes of effort out of their side in potentially 45 minutes or 60
00:31:32And I think that's what we want to see
00:31:35And it's a good opportunity to show the fans what we can do
00:31:39And I think that's what we want to see
00:31:43And I think that's what we want to see
00:31:45Head coaches as well will be wanting
00:31:4790 minutes of effort out of their side in potentially 45 minutes or 60 depending on how many changes they want to make
00:31:53in from Wheatley
00:31:55and
00:31:57In the end tidied up albeit you wondered for a moment where that contact was going from Michael said it
00:32:04Great ball in though
00:32:06Dangerous ball in from Ethan Wheatley. That's a nice pass
00:32:09That's a lovely ball, isn't it? But I concerned it looking to take on Johnny Evans and trying to surprise
00:32:15Vtech at the same time
00:32:18One of those wide players who looks so comfortable drifting in with the ball at his feet
00:32:22Yeah, that's the best move. It's a lovely ball outside of his foot. Well taken as well
00:32:27By right and sunday
00:32:30And it wasn't a great strike. He chose the wrong option
00:32:34He should really have set it outside the far post but
00:32:40Johnny Evans was in his way and he panicked
00:32:43Well, their attacking numbers do compare favorably with
00:32:48most of the teams in their division, it's
00:32:50The problems at the other end only one team has conceded more goals
00:32:54in the norwegian top flight
00:32:58So these attacking players who have caused some issues in this first half for those in red
00:33:04Just will want the players behind them and indeed the unit as a whole to tighten up a bit. Yeah
00:33:13So
00:33:19Brighton's ball forward
00:33:21Spotted by evans fish trying to get there first. He's beaten to it though
00:33:24And they've got a man over here and vtech was called into action
00:33:29Tag set thought about the shot brohom took it on
00:33:33And on they go again corny a loaded penalty area and vtech stops an own goal
00:33:39And there was plenty going on in that manchester united box for a moment there, yeah, it does really well ready vtech
00:33:45Does really well
00:33:48He's onto he's been lively right on sunday and then tag set just knocks it out
00:33:55Aaron wambasaka did well as well. He spotted the danger and tried to get back in behind him
00:34:01And then good movement down that right hand side
00:34:05He saves another one
00:34:07Soundless for the ball over
00:34:10Vtech urges his players to get out
00:34:15One of those crosses that just hit fish and then hit vtech didn't it it could have gone anywhere at any point there it could
00:34:23I think you'd expect
00:34:25From the angle that cornyck was at as well and how close he was in to to really pick somebody out
00:34:31Oh
00:34:33Nothing ball in the end, this is the first save
00:34:46Casimiro on towards mount who had two to tangle with
00:34:53Soundless casimiro in the way
00:34:58He's trying to release rashford
00:35:01and
00:35:03Both sides wanted a free kick there referee says just get on with it definitely
00:35:09Not either way
00:35:11Right decision for me
00:35:14Evans out muscling cornyck
00:35:22We've got 10 minutes of this first half to go
00:35:31So
00:35:37Quickly into the challenge
00:35:43He was on the books at anfield
00:35:46Didn't play for the first team. He was in the youth ranks. He's only 23 now
00:35:51Having left liverpool four years ago
00:35:57He's definitely easy to spot on a football field that is for sure
00:36:01So
00:36:04I'm only jealous. Dave. Yeah. Well, I was gonna say you wouldn't believe me if I said I had hair like that one day
00:36:13Not quite like that close
00:36:16Anyway moving swiftly on remember sackett
00:36:21It's his throw in
00:36:24Not everyone agreed with that call
00:36:31So
00:36:37Williams
00:36:39Had to swivel away from two opponents no way through towards wheatley
00:36:45All of a sudden the space opens up again
00:36:486v3 here
00:36:52Corner tag said is hovering
00:36:56Trying to turn away from murray
00:36:59Right and sunder looking to float it in
00:37:03Heaven's in the way again some crucial blocks in the first half and the flag will go up to stop them on that occasion
00:37:12Yeah, they do
00:37:14Play very very quickly and efficiently out from the back
00:37:18And all of a sudden they had numbers and they were at one point. They were 6v3
00:37:22United did get defenders back and they certainly didn't make
00:37:25As much as that as the they should have done really rozenborg
00:37:31Now I'll tell you what
00:37:35Having made that challenge on casimiro thundered into hannibal there
00:37:41Once again, we mentioned the word pre-season it changes the way that
00:37:46referees perhaps think and how you
00:37:48Look at refereeing decisions
00:37:49But if that's fulham at home at old trafford on the opening weekend of the premier league season
00:37:53You're screaming for a second yellow. Definitely
00:37:56Yeah
00:37:58Arguably the first one might have been more than a yellow could have been a red anyway
00:38:01Yeah, I mean the first one was quite cynical. That one for me was just just a tad clumsy
00:38:10Wambasaka neatly done by wheatley to pick him out. That means there's no one in the middle though. So
00:38:16Williams just had to wait for those to gather in the center
00:38:20So
00:38:27Let's be honest no manager
00:38:29Or head coach wants to see an opponent get sent off in a pre-season friendly anyway
00:38:32Because you want to play against 11 players, don't you?
00:38:34It's the whole sort of point of this is to have the physical test I guess of playing against a full compliment
00:38:41Yeah, not only that but I have a funny feeling that even if you're sent off in a friendly, you know
00:38:46They're right in the middle of their campaign that could have a bearing on it
00:38:50it depends on various factors, but
00:38:53He certainly has to be a little careful about it
00:38:56And the chances are he's not going to appear for the second half. Anyway, here's wheatley who takes on the strike himself
00:39:02ethan williams
00:39:03wondered if the pass was going to come his way, but
00:39:06Wheatley hasn't really had a lot to enjoy in the first half. So fancied his chances. Yeah worked really hard to get that
00:39:13and maybe
00:39:15If he'd have got his head up
00:39:17You can't really argue with him having a strike from there
00:39:19it's probably the it's the first opportunity that united have really had on goal, but
00:39:24If he'd have got his head up, he would have seen that ethan williams was in a better position
00:39:29Had he had just slid that ball across for him into the space
00:39:33first real job for sander tangvik in the
00:39:36rosenborg goal
00:39:39So
00:39:44He is the regular number one 15 starts for him this season
00:39:51Rasmus sandberg is the substitute goalkeeper for the host today
00:39:57Fish is after this one
00:40:00just couldn't quite direct it into the
00:40:02Area, which was going to cause trouble
00:40:05No, he was under pressure wasn't he was he was being backed into which you'd understand from the defender just couldn't generate any power
00:40:17I've never been a fan of a deep corner. Anyway, I have to say
00:40:29Hannibal giving chase
00:40:32mount
00:40:33Effectively into the tackle there winning it back
00:40:36casimiro lays it on
00:40:38rashford fancied it
00:40:42Just managed to get enough bodies in the way
00:40:51They do do that quite nicely
00:40:54They do move the ball out of defense and
00:40:57It's not aimless
00:40:58they keep possession three or four times they've
00:41:01gone on the attack with some
00:41:03quite nice football and some accurate passing
00:41:06well for johansson the
00:41:08Head coach of rosenborg wants them to play in that way. He wants them to play
00:41:13attractive football
00:41:16It means they're not always the tightest at the back but
00:41:19They're easy on the eye going forward and very nearly into a one goal lead
00:41:24And not for the first time. It's brawl
00:41:26Who's on the end of the attack?
00:41:29And they might still have a goal here vitec puts up the shutters
00:41:33And manages to pounce on the ball and somehow
00:41:37It's still nil nil it is
00:41:41I thought there was a foul on johnny evans in the build-up to that
00:41:44Second attack, but the first one take nothing away again some terrific passing from rosenborg
00:41:52And he would have expected
00:41:55Marius broholm to have done a bit better when he just was confronted with radic v-tech and he smashes it against the bar
00:42:01I think he had plenty of other options
00:42:05Rather than just to snatch at it, but united survive
00:42:12We're closing in on halftime here
00:42:24So
00:42:28Marcus rashford just popping in a little more centrally in the last few minutes
00:42:34But the balls at the other end
00:42:38In from cellness with a couple to aim at
00:42:46I think they have struggled to deal a little bit with the with how compact that
00:42:51The rosenberg front six are
00:42:54and
00:42:55They're finding gaps all over the field
00:42:59Having said that some of the passing has been really good as we see the second chance here
00:43:04It's a really good save the first one
00:43:06And then satay just can't generate any power. Well, that's the one where I felt broholm should have done better
00:43:18Good save really good save
00:43:23Of course these
00:43:25young players involved and I
00:43:27Include running vtech in that
00:43:29as a
00:43:30goalkeeper at 20 years of age
00:43:32they want to play
00:43:33with that manchester united badge on their chest, but
00:43:37good performances in games like this might lead to a
00:43:40Move elsewhere either temporarily or perhaps a new start
00:43:46The defense might be calling to action again here
00:43:50Panic stations a little bit here
00:43:52And vtech again
00:43:54Make sure that the threat is quelled
00:43:57But the hosts are enjoying themselves as halftime approaches. Yeah
00:44:01They do counter-attack really well and they seem to have an extra man on the pitch every time they do it. I wasn't sure
00:44:08Well, then I pan was gonna run out of grass there before he crossed it, but it was a really good ball in the end
00:44:14And he finds broholm at the back post
00:44:16And another good save from vtech who can be really pleased with the way he's performed this first half
00:44:22So
00:44:26Last minute of the first 45
00:44:37And from celnis and vtech commanding
00:44:53So
00:44:55Well, he will be pondering what he's seen in the first half and also pondering changes potentially for the second
00:45:01Yeah, I think there will be changes
00:45:03I don't think he's going to be
00:45:05too desperately disappointed
00:45:08About the way it's gone. They haven't conceded. Yes, they might have rolled the look a couple of times
00:45:13but
00:45:14I think what will be
00:45:16Something he will look to improve on is there
00:45:18Is the sloppiness with with some of the passing?
00:45:23And it will make things a lot easier for them
00:45:29So only a small amount of added time at the end of this first half of pre-season action
00:45:37It was a
00:45:39Blockbuster challenge as well from mason mount who's grown a little frustrated with the treatment he's had in the first half
00:45:44So
00:45:51Again
00:45:52you go back to your statement that
00:45:55that would definitely have been a yellow card in in the premier league, but the referee is
00:45:59Apart from the one very very obvious one
00:46:03Has kept them at bay
00:46:10We take for evans
00:46:14Fish on for wambasaka
00:46:24And that is halftime
00:46:26End of a lively first 45 minutes particularly from the hosts. We've gone close to opening the scoring on a number of occasions
00:46:32Manchester united indebted to radic vitek for some smart stops in that first period ethan wheatley coming closest for those in red
00:46:40But his effort was saved and at the break it is as it was when we started rosenborg nil manchester united nil
00:46:58Of manchester united's opening pre-season encounter
00:47:04Referee just waiting for the thumbs up so we can get back underway
00:47:07And it will be jack fletcher who gets the ball rolling
00:47:15I imagine that joe hugo will take his place as the man further forward expect jack fletcher to
00:47:23perhaps playing that number 10 roll
00:47:29Off we go then a
00:47:31Physical first half no doubt about it. Also a real test in terms of the quality shown by the hosts
00:47:40Manchester united with a completely different outfield 10 to start this second half so
00:47:47Some challenges for some of the youngsters out there
00:47:51One of the players of course who's come on during
00:47:53Halftime well known to the man in the middle of the picture there. Darren fletcher jack wearing
00:47:58The number 19 shirt playing in it would seem
00:48:02that
00:48:03Central attacking midfield role in this second half. Yeah, i'm pretty sure that's the way it will be you can see
00:48:09maxi oyodele
00:48:11Filling in next to toba collier
00:48:16Hurrying us down on this left-hand side
00:48:20Who i'm expecting to
00:48:23To be challenging luke shorin
00:48:27Hopefully a fully fit again. So now malasia for that left back spot
00:48:32even this season
00:48:34He had a great season last year
00:48:39There's certainly plenty to come from harry amass in the future and tyrone malasia is
00:48:45now working at carrington
00:48:47progressing his fitness
00:48:49He's worked hard throughout the summer to try and get
00:48:53Back into the first team picture, of course a long-term injury kept him sidelined for a fair while last campaign
00:49:02He's reese bennett
00:49:05Who had a brief spell on loan at stockport county last season as well as 12 games for the under-21s
00:49:16And that's the 17 year old from london toby collier
00:49:20Yep
00:49:2220 year old just signed a new deal till 2027 with an option for another year
00:49:29Another one of those youngsters who had a part in the match
00:49:32They scored in the first team didn't make his debut, but he was unused for eight games in
00:49:36All competition seven of those in the premier league. Yeah. Well, this has got to be the season
00:49:41That he breaks that
00:49:45Came from brighton, didn't he a few years ago?
00:49:47He did yep born in worthing but a brighton youngster
00:49:52Signed two years ago
00:49:59Always interesting to see the quality of the young players in the academy, but also the leadership skills that some of them show
00:50:09Proud moment for him wearing the armband
00:50:12Over here in norway as united try and squeeze it through towards hugel who applied the pressure to win possession back
00:50:28Here going united again
00:50:30It's hugel who was waiting for it eventually got it
00:50:34Fletcher trying to win it back
00:50:36james scanlon in there as well
00:50:39It was a really good run wasn't it from james scanlon and
00:50:43It's just a shame. He didn't spot ethan ennis
00:50:46Coming through in the bottom of your picture on the middle of your picture
00:50:50If he didn't flick the ball with the outside of his left foot he was in
00:50:53Good break though from scanlon
00:50:56Yeah a player who averaged a goal every two starts really in the under 18s last season
00:51:01Oh
00:51:06Strong challenge, which is not out of place in this game in venice from ethan ennis
00:51:12It was a bit of a bruising first half in some ways
00:51:15It's good to see casimiro get up and
00:51:17Eventually get on with it after that challenge, which didn't seem in any way malicious just very ill-timed
00:51:22Yeah, it was and it was it was really high. It was dangerous
00:51:27And
00:51:29As ronnie johnson said at halftime not a place for
00:51:35A tackle like that on any football field never mind in
00:51:38In a friendly where there are unwritten rules and the referee would have had every right to say to the coach
00:51:44Not not here and take him off
00:51:47for home
00:51:48saw plenty of his quality in the first half and
00:51:51the run
00:51:52From saturday just a little bit too early
00:51:56And the offside flag raised against him
00:52:00And
00:52:03Not that early there was it it was tight very tight i'm not sure about habiba gunai on the far side may have been
00:52:08If vr var had been here and the lines had been drawn
00:52:11Well, I was gonna say no need to get a ruler and a permanent marker out to draw on our screen here
00:52:15Just to to check it
00:52:18We often say that pre-season is less about
00:52:22the final scoreline and more about
00:52:24What you get out of the game physically albeit
00:52:27You want to win as well and is often the case at manchester united do in pre-season
00:52:36Plenty of pace shown by ethan ennis to try and get onto the ball there, but it's easily collected
00:52:47So I think
00:52:49Even though it's taking me five minutes
00:52:51I think the only outfield players that we haven't seen as sam mother
00:52:55And reese bennett
00:52:58So well reese bennett is there. Oh, is he so
00:53:02That's a good start then, isn't it?
00:53:08Why am I getting I was at louis jackson
00:53:11Was he there at all? No, it's al joffrey, isn't it partnering?
00:53:14This is the delights of pre-season and i've got so many memories of working with paddy crerent
00:53:19Where you'd literally see steam coming out of his ears
00:53:23Scribbling with his marker pen on his piece of paper before it just became a load of numbers and crosses out
00:53:37So many changes all at once in games like these it's best to just sit back and enjoy and just see what happens
00:53:41Yeah, forget it
00:53:48I don't think they've made as many changes a few here and there emil frederickson is one of those who's come on
00:53:54Who is another lively winger? They've got plenty of those
00:53:58He can cause problems
00:54:00on either side of the field
00:54:02and we'll look to
00:54:04really pick up where they left off in the first half with their wide players drifting around and
00:54:09Being hard for manchester united to pick up here is frederickson looking to slot it through it's well picked off by al joffrey
00:54:16yeah, they they
00:54:18really found space well, didn't they in between the lines between united's midfield and and back four the movement was really good and
00:54:27the passing passing into them was
00:54:31generally, very good as well, which allowed them to
00:54:35To create as much as they did in the first half
00:54:38so
00:54:48They do have various options on their bench as well, of course as they will look to freshen things up a little later
00:54:56Cornick
00:54:59Selmas a little short there collier seizing the opportunity to win it back
00:55:03And
00:55:05Making sure that marik v tech was concentrating
00:55:10Which he certainly wasn't the first half by the way, yeah, he had a really good first half didn't he
00:55:14made some super saves and
00:55:16most notably the one when he
00:55:18He got down
00:55:20At the feet of I think it was marcus brohan. Was it or was it napan? It was one of the two of them
00:55:26And then he was up straight away onto his feet something that goalkeepers work on a hell of a lot is
00:55:31Is being down on the floor and how quickly they can spring back and
00:55:37He demonstrated that perfectly but the save was excellent it really was
00:55:42Highly thought of at acrington where he was on loan last season 18 games in league two
00:55:49He's after that swiftly off his line well shielded as well by harry amas
00:56:01So
00:56:09Collier nicely done. Yeah, lovely flick nice with frederickson
00:56:28Back it goes to vtech
00:56:30So
00:56:37Bennett
00:56:41Again
00:56:53Happy to have it at walking pace for now everyone gets into their positions and i'm asking
00:56:58To look at what he's going to do with it back for bennett
00:57:04Collier
00:57:09Rosenborg trying to pin manchester united in here
00:57:13Are you delhi taking it on really good?
00:57:19Good night the legs swept away from underneath him
00:57:23And
00:57:26I think that's probably what
00:57:27the manager would have wanted to seen a little bit more of in the first half that confidence to take the ball and
00:57:33I realized that mistakes are going to be made in in the first game or two of pre-season because you are finding your feet and
00:57:39you know the fitness isn't there but
00:57:41you just need to get your touch right and I think that was what was slightly lacking in the first half, but
00:57:46that was a really confident way of playing out that and
00:57:49They've got the foul in the end on a good night
00:57:53So
00:57:56Vtec's clearances seized upon by brighton sunday
00:58:02Manchester united quickly behind the ball though
00:58:09Vtec's after it makes no mistake with that
00:58:18It's such a physical presence
00:58:21Happy with the ball at his feet though as well
00:58:46Am I trying to make it his
00:58:49Collier as well
00:58:54He's barely buzzing around in there too
00:58:59Little teenager turns 20 in november
00:59:05Tags it
00:59:09He switched sides hasn't he tags it
00:59:11So
00:59:13Selness who's just always in that position trying to make things happen trying to spot the pass
00:59:25He looks to provide the platform from which rosenborg can build
00:59:32Which means others like cornicke and frederickson do the running
00:59:35Oh
00:59:37Nicely done away from amass opening manchester united up and then
00:59:42He wanted all the glory you'd go mad as a coach. You would get absolutely mad. He does brilliantly
00:59:48on the touchline
00:59:51And puts it through harry amass his legs. It's a really good piece of skill, but this is unforgivable
00:59:56Unbelievable
01:00:01And united definitely get away with one there but as you quite rightly said dave that is
01:00:07Glory hunting to the extreme when you've got so many players there
01:00:10Ready for a tapping as a coach. You would go ballistic and so would one of your teammates
01:00:18And it's funny isn't it we often talk about pre-season results not necessarily meaning anything but of course for these
01:00:24norwegian players or players of rozenborg
01:00:27in a little bit of a tricky run of form
01:00:30A friendly like this if they can
01:00:32Win it. It just might turn things around for them. It might make a difference
01:00:36Oh keep us retreating got themselves into a problem here. Ethan ennis
01:00:40stealing away
01:00:44A few options up with him, but he might fancy taking this on himself
01:00:48And there was just a white wall really of
01:00:51Outfield players in his way. Yeah, I think if he could have just
01:00:55Rolled the ball back with the sole of his foot little back heel. Toby collie was there for at least a strike on goal
01:01:03The good run from ethan ennis, but he was fast running running out of
01:01:08Running out of space to be able to get his shots off
01:01:15Broho
01:01:18And that's with two to deal with
01:01:21Cornick had the run on him, but didn't get the ball where he wanted to
01:01:32And now i'm just looking at you ben because you're seeing these rozenborg players gathering ready to come on
01:01:40It's going to be a
01:01:41Change en masse, I would suggest seven or eight players. I think about to come on. It's like the trondheim version of keystone cops
01:01:51And we are in the 60th minute so we knew it was coming didn't we we did
01:02:07Sometimes a mass
01:02:08Change like this can
01:02:10Really boost the game and get it going again
01:02:12Sometimes it can mean that everyone takes a while to settle as frederickson is tracked by collio did a good job
01:02:19And wins the goal kick too I don't agree with that but what I do
01:02:25Want to say is that he does
01:02:31Oh, it was a bit pinball, wasn't it?
01:02:35But he's started this second half really well toby collier
01:02:44So, let's see
01:02:47The changes that are made
01:02:51There are plenty of them
01:02:55And some of the regulars
01:02:58And the first team given an opportunity to have a rest selling this one of those
01:03:02It was so effective for them
01:03:05right and also
01:03:07stepping out of the action
01:03:17So captains armband is switched across to volvic is a gourd who is one of those coming on
01:03:29And he is sandero as well
01:03:33There's a few of the younger rosenburg squad members had a chance to impress
01:03:41You know, it's pre-season when they get the deck chairs out to extend the dugout
01:03:47Is
01:03:54Just caught napping a little
01:03:57Some players in white now very keen to make an impact on proceedings
01:04:03Ethan ennis back to help out defensively
01:04:07Nicely done by a mass and jack fletcher there as well dropping in
01:04:16So
01:04:23I've got eight that came on there. I bet i'm wrong. It's pre-season bingo, isn't it?
01:04:28Yeah
01:04:44It's definitely a kind of game when you don't want to be on graphics do you making all the uh, all the substitutions happen
01:04:53And the stadium announcer as well
01:04:54I think he ran through things very swiftly there to get it all in the break of play
01:05:04Let's see what challenge
01:05:06As rosenberg side can present to manchester united and indeed the other way around as well awaiting the opening goal
01:05:18Up and away and on to the head of reese bennett
01:05:24And
01:05:29Fredrickson
01:05:33Just united in trouble here, it's nicely pulled back and vtech. I think got a touch there
01:05:39Once again, the hosts go close
01:05:43Tobias
01:05:45Bucket
01:05:47I think i'll I don't know if he did get a touch but if he did it's hell of a save
01:05:51What I will say is that I think maybe he should have gone for oh he did it's a brilliant save
01:05:56He really should have gone
01:05:59For the far part of the left-hand post. I don't think
01:06:03He would have got to it then but even so taking nothing away because that was going in as a hell of a save
01:06:11What an evening he's had
01:06:14Well the game would have to take a big change in direction for
01:06:18I don't vtech to not be the man of the match. I think or the player of the match tonight
01:06:23Someone would really have to step forward and make things happen from an outfield point of view
01:06:28He's made some fine stops
01:06:30Some that you'd perhaps expect him to make but some that
01:06:33Have been top drawer as well. Yeah, I mean he's on that side of his goal
01:06:36Anyway, because of the ball coming across from anderson
01:06:39But you just expected bucket to sweep the ball towards that far post where the bulk of the goal was
01:06:46Was empty and he didn't he went near post
01:06:51Still hit it with a great deal of power
01:06:54Even if it was off the side of his foot, it's a hell of a save
01:06:58Tobias book it a player who
01:07:03Can really pack a punch from midfield six foot two
01:07:07And a player who was formerly
01:07:10one of the likes of starbuck and
01:07:12Bromby
01:07:14Made it up to the under 21s with norway, but not quite the full senior side
01:07:20And he's got four consecutive vowels in his name
01:07:24Scrabble dream
01:07:30He's only been on the pitch a matter of minutes and straight away found some space and that can be the danger I suppose
01:07:35when a team makes so many changes you
01:07:38Focused on who your man was you've got to make sure you pick up the guy who's just come on
01:07:43In his place. Everything's changed around you. It's all about concentration
01:07:47well at times they have done that well rosenborg and that is
01:07:51Switching the play and and getting
01:07:53overlaps to v1
01:07:57The switch of players really work for them at times in this game
01:08:02And again here with options waiting
01:08:05but not receiving
01:08:07United almost get themselves into a tangle collier will emerge with it
01:08:13And frederickson wins it back
01:08:19Waiting for those to gather in front of him and vitek plunged at the feet of magnus halter
01:08:27And if he
01:08:28If he wasn't offside halter, it's a really clever ball from frederickson. Chances are he probably wasn't because he was already on the move
01:08:43Oh
01:08:45He's bennett
01:08:48Vitek again
01:08:53Gets it back from a good night
01:08:59He decides to attack himself rather than wait for others
01:09:03Yes
01:09:10Magnus holt has made the run did well to curve that noah holm would have been offside
01:09:17And the strike has power that's not the required direction
01:09:22Always rising from anderson
01:09:25and i'm not
01:09:27I'm, not surprised
01:09:29Because he had no angle whatsoever to be able to strike that ball from there and again an example of
01:09:38Rosenborg getting into some decent positions and then choosing completely the wrong options
01:09:50Three quarters of the way through the 90 minutes now
01:10:00So
01:10:11These two clubs have never met in an official competitive outing before
01:10:18A couple of friendlies in the past 1992 pre-season
01:10:22Goals from paul ince brian mclare and dennis erwin in a 3-2 win
01:10:27a
01:10:29Friend in 1977 united's first game in norway, which ended in an 8-0 victory
01:10:35Gordon hill got a double alex forsyth sammy mccrory dave mccreary jimmy green off martin bucken and an own goal
01:10:43completing the scoring
01:10:46There were 8 000 fans there that day. There are
01:10:49close to 21 000
01:10:51here today
01:10:53So
01:10:56Capacity crowd at the lircundal stadium
01:11:14Substitutes combined to cause some trouble and an opening which
01:11:18in the end is
01:11:19stopped in its tracks
01:11:21What can I and oyadele were there to try and clear the danger and then frederickson just sauntered through
01:11:28And strikes the post
01:11:30I don't he's done the same thing
01:11:32I mean, it's a lovely piece of skill. I mean, this isn't a bad ball reese bennett misses his opportunity to clear
01:11:39And i'm gonna either same it's a lovely touch and then he goes right around the outside
01:11:44And he tries to score from there. I mean
01:11:46He's got two players
01:11:49I mean the lad is obviously very talented, but his end product will have to improve
01:11:56Well radovich was standing on that near post
01:11:59Effectively, there were two near posts because he was standing right there. There was no way through. Yeah
01:12:12Now can hugel steal in here he can find ennis
01:12:18And it's happy to take all on a decent effort as well
01:12:22And a smart stop by sandberg
01:12:24You had to get across to it swiftly. Yeah. Well, I mean that must have moved. It's a terrific strike from ethan ennis
01:12:32And he held off the challenge
01:12:37I'm pretty sure that he struck that with such venom that it was moving all over the place. It's a poor
01:12:42poor mistake for him
01:12:43from the defender
01:12:46And he steps inside
01:12:48and
01:12:50That is a really good save
01:12:57Things he's already gone down so it definitely moved because he saved that diving to his left and saving it with his right hand
01:13:09Erasmus sandberg will enjoy the fact that he's been able to impress with that. He's only had a couple of games for
01:13:15rosenberg this season
01:13:18So
01:13:20Foul by bennett
01:13:23Nine subs despite another one
01:13:31A little short for frederickson nicely dealt with by fletcher
01:13:35And he's tried to make it his
01:13:3719 minutes here for someone to win this
01:13:40Perhaps I shouldn't have said that
01:13:42Cross was searching
01:13:44I just didn't find
01:13:46any takers in the middle
01:13:49Has that gone out? No, I didn't think it had a corner flag job that one
01:13:54Kept in by the
01:13:56On pitch furniture if you like manchester united get a free kick
01:14:05It's remarkable in some ways that this is still nil nil because there have been a fair few chances united have had a couple
01:14:10rosenberg have had a fair few more but
01:14:14Neither side has had any benefit from those chances
01:14:1918 minutes to play. There'll be a little bit added on for the plethora of changes, but
01:14:28I wouldn't suggest there be all that many minutes added on so around about 20 left to make a difference to the scoreline
01:14:42And goals in pre-season while they don't count towards your campaigns tally they're a real boost to
01:14:49The self-belief on it particularly for these youngsters if someone were to step forward and get one
01:15:10Now joffrey to bennett
01:15:19How can I wish like he just ran out of room really
01:15:27Another player who's waiting for that competitive first team debut, but was on the bench for nine games last season
01:15:35So
01:15:52Bennett
01:15:58We're trying to poke it through wood scanlon
01:16:02And united get in business here with hugel didn't quite have the support he thought he had
01:16:12Good ball and good run
01:16:13And a decent cut back as well. It was the best he could have done under the circumstances joe hugel
01:16:18Just as you say needed that support somebody running from deep
01:16:23Just to get across the defender
01:16:26He had a loan spell last season at burton albion
01:16:29And actually scored
01:16:31on his senior debut
01:16:34came on against derby county and
01:16:36managed to find the back of the net
01:16:39In which I was commentating on and he really changed the game in their favor albeit marley county ended up edging burton out
01:16:50Local derby
01:16:58So
01:17:05Watching it and dealing with it at the cost of a corner
01:17:16How he would love to see his side convert one of these chances
01:17:21They'll be delighted they've been creating what they have done but frustrated that they've got nothing to show for it. Yeah
01:17:28That's it
01:17:31It's good practice for them
01:17:36Plenty rising for it
01:17:40United see the threat away initially it'll come back though frederickson
01:17:48Seen off by fletcher
01:17:51So
01:17:55Taking no chances it's a decent ball to the back post
01:18:13Concentration key from the corner here for manchester united
01:18:21Hooked in again by frederickson and how on earth did that not get converted?
01:18:27Everyone held their breath inside the stadium there and he was just waiting to see the ball roll in and in fact
01:18:33It wouldn't have counted in any case. No
01:18:36He would have been offside i'm not sure i'm not so sure when this ball comes back out
01:18:44The header whoever you know, he was definitely offside
01:18:47Offside
01:18:49Decent ball whipped in with pace
01:18:54It's often said that an offside flag in that situation saves your blushes, but it doesn't really because you've still missed it you have
01:19:03Problem with
01:19:06Sandberg he's only just come on not only just come on but came on for the second half
01:19:18So
01:19:20Well, this could cause a problem for them bearing in mind there
01:19:25The goalkeeper went off
01:19:28At halftime
01:19:34So a little bit of time will be given for the running repairs just a reminder as well, of course
01:19:39This is the first game of manchester united's pre-season
01:19:43And united head to
01:19:46scotland to murrayfield to play rangers
01:19:48on saturday
01:19:50And then the tour 2024 fixtures really kick in
01:19:54Los angeles against arsenal san diego against real betis and south carolina against liverpool
01:20:04All the pre-season action, of course here on mu tv
01:20:09And then it'll all click into gear with the community shield and eventually the first game of the premier league season
01:20:16fulham at old trafford
01:20:20And by then it'll really feel like we've never been away
01:20:27Fine stop that wasn't it it was because
01:20:30he obviously
01:20:31Must have completely misjudged the flight of the ball
01:20:34Good strike from ethan and it's really good strike hit with plenty of power
01:20:39but similarly
01:20:42Sandberg's strong wrist was equal to it
01:20:46An orthodox way of saving a shot from there, but it was
01:20:51Fruitful for him
01:20:53By the way, we must of course give our commiserations to luke shaw and kobe manu who
01:20:59Lost out with england, of course last night in the euro 2024 final
01:21:03Against spain, but also congratulate
01:21:06The sandro martinez and alejandro garnaccio who were winners of the copper america with argentina
01:21:12Overnight winning against colombia after extra time. Natauro martinez the
01:21:16winning goal scorer
01:21:18Yeah, congratulations to them. Well to all four of them really
01:21:21I mean, it's such a shame that luke shaw wasn't fit for
01:21:25The entirety of the tournament because I think he would have made a huge difference
01:21:29But there's a lot of imbalance down that left-hand side that he would have definitely plugged
01:21:37But kobe manu was excellent right the way through
01:21:42He just came up short sadly against a very good spanish team you have to say
01:21:50Last 10 minutes, right?
01:21:54Just told by a few I think to speed things up a little bit in the crowd at least
01:21:58just a
01:21:59Little bit of sloppiness creeping in at the back for manchester united here
01:22:09You know, it's been a game of limited opportunities for manchester united but that's to be expected
01:22:14With the with where both these sets of players are in their
01:22:19respective seasons
01:22:21So
01:22:27Here comes the cross which is a real tester
01:22:31Fletcher sees it out in the end
01:22:34Scanlon now he's trying to relieve the pressure on the united backline
01:22:41Which has been building throughout the course of the game really albeit a couple of levels in the second half
01:22:51Right
01:22:59The important thing when this match is finished is that
01:23:03players have got 45 minutes
01:23:06Under their belts or most of them have anyway
01:23:10And that everybody gets
01:23:14On that plane back to manchester
01:23:16and there's no injury concerns to be
01:23:19To be worried about
01:23:22Yeah, that's what you want as a manager in this situation isn't it is a clean bill of health
01:23:27Minutes under the belt as the cliche goes
01:23:31And they are cliches at this time of the season, you know, nothing is ever going to change that is what pre-season is for
01:23:37Is hoping that you don't get any injuries
01:23:41And making sure that you get
01:23:44miles into the legs
01:23:46That'll all
01:23:48It will ever before but it's so so vital for to set you up for the current
01:23:53You know the ensuing campaign, but it's different these days, isn't it?
01:23:56Because you're not running around heaton park and things like that. No as uh
01:24:01Some manchester united sides were back in the day, of course things change. Don't they things change?
01:24:08Club like manchester united is is wanted or in you know in all corners of the globe
01:24:13And
01:24:17You have to
01:24:18I suppose split their time accordingly when pre-season comes around, you know, the far east market is huge
01:24:25Australia obviously they're here or they're on the way to to america after the game in in scotland
01:24:31And
01:24:38The tests will vary over the course of the pre-season schedule with differing conditions and opponents
01:24:45and of course
01:24:47squad members
01:24:48Wearing the manchester united shirt as well as various players return from international duty and injury
01:24:55Yeah, that's true because not all these players
01:24:59Will will go on the on the tour to to america
01:25:03Because eric ten hag will have a you know, a bulk of his first team squad
01:25:08that we recognize
01:25:10back some of them will go and maybe what he's looking for is
01:25:14He knows the opposition is going to improve and and he wants people
01:25:18To be going on this tour that he feels will be able to compete with the likes of arsenal and liverpool
01:25:23And then coming back to face manchester city and the community shield
01:25:27And of course always the potential for new faces, too
01:25:33Joshua zerksy one of those who we'll see at some stage in manchester united colors
01:25:37We'll see when and of course players being linked with
01:25:41This club all the time
01:25:51Seven minutes remain of this opening pre-season encounter
01:25:57I caught on the ball
01:26:03Managing to recover and apologize
01:26:09Nothing more you can do you make a mistake you're trying to tone for it and he did exactly that
01:26:13So
01:26:22Emil frederickson across to take the corner
01:26:34Bennett unchallenged
01:26:37Frederickson will have it again takes the low road this time
01:26:48Joe hugel back to help out defensively
01:27:07Go kit
01:27:11Anderson
01:27:16Movement in the middle it wasn't the ball they wanted though
01:27:20United just can't get out at the moment. No, they can't
01:27:24And I think it's been a struggle for them
01:27:26In general for the whole of the game, not just for this half, but I think it is has been slightly more noticeable in this half
01:27:37So
01:27:47Well, that could have gone anywhere and it might still go in but for radic vtech
01:27:53Who has somehow kept rosenborg out all evening
01:27:59I mean eluded one two, three four
01:28:04Nearly five players there before it fell to to magnus halter
01:28:09But he slammed it straight at radic vtech
01:28:13And once again has thwarted rosenborg
01:28:21Collier just waiting for the contact really hoping for it in any case instead. It's a corner
01:28:33So
01:28:49One was fired into the middle
01:28:52And it ends up gratefully in the gloves
01:28:55Good bit of defending to just take the pace off the header from book it
01:29:03So
01:29:26How they would love to have a late flurry manchester united
01:29:30Claim a victory here, but the majority of the play is happening in this half of the field and has been for some time
01:29:38It was hopeful though
01:29:42Yeah, he's only 17
01:29:48Steps away from his man nicely but a little bit wayward with his strike
01:29:57Is he famous
01:30:00Or her it could have been either or there might be a
01:30:03well, I was just
01:30:05Distracted there because uh, the stadium announcer was talking about games ahead
01:30:09and of course, it's we've kept sort of alluding to it the fact that
01:30:13Rosenborg are mid-season so
01:30:15They have a game in a few days time
01:30:18Which this will have been good preparation for in some ways
01:30:24Of course they will be
01:30:27Hopeful and pleased to get a clean bill of health themselves through this game
01:30:30if indeed that is the case and if we take getting a little knotted up indeed united we're in general there and
01:30:36The applause is for the press
01:30:38From rosenborg that caused some of the issues there. Yeah, maybe that was just a
01:30:43little bit too keen for radic vtech
01:30:47We got away we won there I feel
01:30:49Maybe to miss that out
01:30:51And go into midfield or at least send the ball forward out of danger, it's probably the best bet there but
01:30:58He deserves a little bit
01:31:00Because he's been excellent
01:31:02So
01:31:19So, what do you take out of this game ben from what you've seen today well
01:31:23I mean first and foremost if it does stay like this then a clean sheet is always a plus. Um,
01:31:28and yes that has been mainly down to
01:31:32To the I would say the brilliance at times of of uh of radic vtech
01:31:37but
01:31:38it's difficult to be over critical and uh, and too analytical when it comes to you know, your first game in pre-season
01:31:46um
01:31:48It's just important
01:31:50The things that we said earlier that the lads get minutes under their belts
01:31:54and uh
01:31:55And they all walk away from here with with no injuries and I think the more you go in pre-season
01:32:02Then you can start
01:32:04Being a little bit more sort of we need more
01:32:08You know from the manager's perspective, but I think he'll be relatively happy with with the fact that they haven't conceded
01:32:14He knows that things need to improve but for the first game. I don't think you can be too hard
01:32:26And it's skipping away
01:32:30And on he goes have to wait a fair while for support three minutes more to play
01:32:38He's been positive ethan ennis and he's arguably had our best chance of this half with the
01:32:44With that wonderful strike from the edge of the box
01:32:51He's collier
01:32:54I'm ass
01:32:59And this has it whipped away and I thought that was a foul
01:33:01I'm just united now need to scurry back and it's well won back by ayodele
01:33:10I thought holden came through the back of him there to win that ball
01:33:13So
01:33:20Saw the opportunity for the switch as did ben thornley the arm gesture was there
01:33:26And he obliged out towards og and I
01:33:32Joffrey just having to be careful looking for bennett who has to be likewise
01:33:37I can still I can still see it. Dave. I just can't do it anymore
01:33:44Now can manchester united end with a flourish here
01:33:49No one had stayed at the back post
01:33:57Hamas
01:34:01And it's just run into traffic
01:34:14So
01:34:19Unless we'll see it back just about to be tech who had to quicken the stride
01:34:35Well plenty to discuss on the way back to manchester
01:34:40In terms of performance in terms of fitness
01:34:44So
01:34:50Final minute of the added time one from frederickson who has it back again
01:35:04And this will be the last attack are they going to make it count they might steal and they do
01:35:10So
01:35:12With pretty much the last kick of the game rosenberg find the goal they've craved all evening
01:35:21And we cannot say it hasn't been coming no and it will be the last attack and it's such a shame
01:35:29Don't get me wrong. They have been the team that has looked the more likely to score throughout the whole of this game
01:35:35It's a bit cruel that it comes in the 94th minute
01:35:39And it was unfortunate as well. He actually blocked his teammate's shot and as he turns around
01:35:46Ricocheted off reese bennett and then hit him
01:35:50Home straight into his path and he was as surprised as anybody to see where it was
01:35:58And vtech for once had no chance couldn't get anywhere near it and that is that
01:36:05The first goal of pre-season goes to rosenberg
01:36:10And manchester united's first pre-season test proved to be a tough one. It was a test
01:36:16But I think vtech the standout performer
01:36:19Performing terrifically in both halves of the game, but finally beaten with pretty much the final kick noah holm
01:36:26Claiming the goal and the victory for rosenberg
01:36:29No goals for united on the board, but plenty of minutes in the legs
01:36:32Which is all important at this very early stage of pre-season. It ends rosenberg one
01:36:38manchester united nil
