BREAKING NEWS: Coming Live From Old Trafford, Confirmed Man United XI Vs Rosenborg: Marcus Rashford And Mason Mount Start. Manchester United Prepares To Take On Rosenborg. Let’s See How The Reds Will Perform.

Pre-Season Clash: Manchester United vs. Rosenborg**

Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount headline Manchester United’s lineup as they face Rosenborg in the first pre-season match of the 2024/25 season.Several key players, including those who participated in Euro 2024 and the Copa America, are absent. Notable absentees include Andre Onana, Victor Lindelof, Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, Antony, and Amad Diallo. Harry Maguire remains sidelined with an injury, while Tyrell Malacia is also unavailable but has resumed individual training after a year-long absence.

Despite the limited number of regular first-team members, a few players returning from loan spells are set to make an impact. Will Fish, who impressed at Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League, will partner Jonny Evans in central defense. Aaron Wan-Bissaka and 19-year-old Sam Murray will serve as full-backs, with Radek Vitek in goal.Hannibal, who was on loan at Sevilla last season, starts in midfield alongside Casemiro. Ethan Williams and Ethan Wheatley are also in the starting lineup, with Williams likely to play on the left wing and Wheatley up front. Mount is expected to occupy the number 10 role, while Rashford plays on the right wing.

Williams and Murray’s inclusions were unexpected, as many anticipated seeing Harry Amass at left-back and Toby Collyer in central midfield, with Hannibal in a more advanced position. Hannibal will be eager to revive his career this summer, either to attract interest from other clubs or to prove his worth to manager Erik ten Hag. Mount aims for a strong pre-season to make up for a frustrating, injury-plagued 2023/24 season. Rashford, too, has a point to prove after a disappointing personal campaign. It remains to be seen if the arrival of club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy will positively impact Rashford’s finishing.## Starting XI:
