How to Watch Rosenborg vs. Man Utd on TV, Live Stream
Manchester United is preparing for a preseason friendly against Rosenborg in Norway, though the match faces limited broadcast availability for international audiences. The team continues to field an experimental lineup due to the absence of players recovering from international tournaments.
Why it matters
Preseason matches are critical for team development, but the logistical challenges of broadcasting highlight the fragmentation of sports media rights.
Manchester United have journeyed to Norway for their second preseason friendly of the summer against Rosenborg on Friday.
It was defeat for Michael Carrick and his players in their first warmup match, a makeshift side beaten 1–0 by second-tier Wrexham in Finland last Saturday. An experienced group fell behind in the first half and an entirely-changed XI of academy players was unable to get back on track after the break.
Carrick is still without a host of first-teamers as they recover from their World Cup exploits, meaning another unorthodox starting lineup will be selected at Lerkendal Stadion. United ’s challenge is made all the tougher by the fact Rosenborg are midway through their club campaign, meaning they’re fully fit and raring to go for the upcoming clash.
Here’s how to tune into United’s second preseason friendly.
