The only player from the Red Devils to play in both halves, 20-year-old keeper Radek Vitek, was denied a goal in the third minute of added time, ending the game seemingly goalless.Preseason games, however, are more about fitness levels and individual players showcasing their abilities than they are about the outcome.

After watching Monday’s game, CHRIS WHEELER of Mail Sport identified three players who excelled and three who didn’t.

RADEK VITEK 8/10: Put on a superb display in goal for Manchester United, just losing to a close call in the 93rd minute.

In the first half, the 6′ 6″ Czech goalie kept Erik ten Hag’s team in the match. In the second, he made an incredible reaction save to deflect Tobias Borkeeiet’s shot against the crossbar.TOBY COLLYER (7/10)last week, he signed a new deal that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2027. He also replaced Casemiro as captain when Erik ten Hag substituted all ten of his outfield players for the second half.

Despite United’s youth team’s opposition, the solidly built midfielder led from the front. Rosenborg is a match-ready team that has played 14 games in their domestic league.

Despite not making his debut last season, Collyer was included in the matchday squad multiple times. However, it is anticipated that the 20-year-old will play at some point in the upcoming campaign.
