Carrick is satisfied with Manchester United's preseason performance.

Manchester United cruised to a 5-0 victory over Rosenborg in a friendly match, thanks to goals from Shea Lacey, Zirkzee, Jacob Dewani, Harry Armas, and Ethan Williams. Manager Carrick stated that maintaining a zero-point record and scoring goals are very positive steps at this stage, and he was also satisfied with the players' performance in preparation.

In the 31st minute, Zirkzee played a through ball to Shea Lessie, who dribbled past his defender and fired a long-range shot into the net, giving Manchester United a 1-0 lead. In the 56th minute of the second half, Zirkzee received the ball and slotted it into the empty net, making it 2-0.

In the 63rd minute, Manchester United's corner kick was cleared, and Jacob Dewane received the ball in the penalty area and fired a powerful shot into the net, giving Manchester United a 3-0 lead over Rosenborg. In the 72nd minute, Manchester United launched an attack with a cross, and Harry Armas slid in to score, making the score 4-0.

In the 84th minute, Jadan Carmason crossed the ball, and Ethan Williams scored. Ultimately, Manchester United secured a 5-0 victory over Rosenborg in this friendly match.

Manchester United manager Michael Carrick said, "To keep a clean sheet and score a goal, and to look like none of the players are injured, is exactly what we want to see at this stage. We always hope the team continues to improve and that our performances get better and better."

"But at this stage, it's equally important, if not just as important, for the players to stay healthy and complete the preseason preparations step by step. We've played two games and completed two weeks of training. I think the team's current development is in line with expectations, and we are quite satisfied with it."

Speaking about the performance against Rosenborg, Carrick said, "I think the young players who came on as substitutes in the second half performed very well. They played very well as a team and deserved this result."

“Goalkeeper Radek Wittek got plenty of playing time, about 70 minutes, and I’m very happy with his performance.”

In addition, Carrick said, "I think our overall defense was very good for most of the time. There were some minor issues to adjust at the beginning of the game, but overall, our whole team defended very well and protected the goalkeeper well. Of course, it's wonderful to keep a clean sheet."
