Manchester United secured a 5-0 preseason victory against Rosenborg, with further matches scheduled before the Premier League season. The club aims to build on last season's third-place finish under interim coach Michael Carrick, who significantly improved the team's performance.

United is navigating a challenging transfer market, focusing on squad balance and financial discipline. Key midfielder Casemiro has departed, while new signings include Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. The club also monitors potential targets like Lewis Hall and Aurelien Tchouameni, despite budget constraints and competition. Injury updates on Benjamin Sesko, Lisandro Martinez, and Mathijs de Ligt are noted. Marcus Rashford is increasingly likely to remain at Old Trafford. The club emphasizes a clear plan from academy to first team, aiming for consistent Champions League football.
