Rosenborg vs Manchester United LIVE score and goal updates as Lacey and Santos start

This is how our writers think United should line up this evening:

Tyrone Marshall

Carrick showed his hand last week by picking a strong team in the first half and then ringing the changes at the break. I’d keep the pattern reasonably similar this half, with a couple of changes. One of them is moving Yoro to centre-back alongside Maguire. There has to be a chance that this is the partnership that begins the Premier League season, so let’s see them together now.

I would also bring Tyler Fletcher in to play alongside Andrey Santos, with Mason Mount as the No.10, and would hand Joshua Zirkzee a chance through the middle.

Steven Railston

I’d largely pick the same team that started against Wrexham last weekend, but would make a handful of changes. The first would be bringing Vitek into the XI at the expense of Heaton, who can play in the second half when wholesale changes are made.

Tyler Fletcher should swap roles with his brother, Jack, who started in Finland. He is the more likely of the pair to stay with the first-team squad in the new campaign, so it makes sense for him to start.

Playing Zirkzee up front is fine in the first two pre-season games, which are essentially fitness exercises, but it will be concerning if he’s the only fit forward on the eve of the new campaign. Carrick should give Gabriel minutes in the second half.
