Man United vs Rosenborg: What has been said?

Carrick was pleased with United’s performance despite defeat against Wrexham in their first pre-season game.

“There’s loads of little positives to take from the game,” he said.

“I thought Andrey [Santos] and Mason [Mount] did some really good things and connected really well. I could see some positives there.

“The top end of the pitch, just because it is a week in, those sharp little movements and bright moments that you are looking for, they come as you progress through the weeks of training.

“There were good signs from Andrey on his first one, he’s getting in the rhythm and feel of it again, so it was good to see him in a red shirt.”
