Man Utd receive enthusiastic welcome in Norway
- Published
It sounds as though the crowd for Friday's pre-season game between Manchester United and Norwegian side Rosenborg in Trondheim may struggle to get into five figures.
Some Rosenborg fans are not happy with their team's performance this season - they are 10th in the 16-team Eliteserien - and that has been compounded by the United game meaning this weekend's league fixture against Fredrikstad has been moved to Monday.
Add in the fact United have just played in Finland and have games in Sweden on the next two weekends, it is easy to see why this match might not be a massive draw.
Nevertheless, there were plenty of fans welcoming United's arrival on Thursday.
From what I saw, all the players spent extended periods signing balls and shirts and posing for selfies, including 15-year-old JJ Gabriel.
Gabriel should make his senior bow at some stage later.
