ReadManUtd has previewed United’s second summer fixture against Rosenborg. The match takes place at the Lerkendal Stadion on Friday, with Carrick looking for a response to the opening 1-0 defeat by Wrexham.
The schedule will give Carrick several opportunities to assess new signings and academy players. It also provides increasingly difficult opposition as United move closer to the competitive campaign.
The Manchester United pre-season fixtures conclude eight days before the opening Premier League weekend, giving the squad a final training period after returning from Poland.
