Manchester United claimed their first win of pre-season as they cruised to a 5-0 victory over Norwegian side Rosenborg. A patchwork United side lost their pre-season opener against Championship Wrexham last week, but Michael Carricks men had little difficulty in seeing off a Rosenborg side just three points above the relegation zone in the Elitserien.Teenager Shea Lacey opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark and four second-half goals secured a comfortable victory.Joshua Zirkzee, Jacob Devaney Harry Amass and Ethan Williams were all on target for the Red Devils, who will face Atletico Madrid in their next pre-season game on August 1.Patrick Dorgu clipped the post in the 28th minute as United unsurprisingly dictated proceedings in the first half, and three minutes later Lacey found the bottom-left corner after latching onto a superb pass from Zirkzee.Yoro hit the crossbar with a header just before the break, and 11 minutes after the interval Zirkzee doubled the lead, unseating a defender as he skilfully evaded a challenge on the edge of the area before coolly slotting home.Devaney slammed home from point-blank range after Rosenborg failed to clear a corner, and Amass turned home a low ball to the far post from Jaydan Kamason to make it 4-0.Kamason repeated the feat in teeing up Ethan Williams with another ball to the far post as United rounded off the rout.
