Kristiansund vs Man Utd
Venue: Ullevaal Stadion
Date: Tuesday, July 30, 2019
Kick-off time: 6pm BST
Manchester United kick off their penultimate game of pre-season on Tuesday evening as the Red Devils face Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's hometown club Kristiansund in Oslo.
While United are still struggling to complete Solskjaer's transfer plans off the pitch, they have had a fine summer on it with four wins from four so far - including victories over Inter Milan (1-0) and Tottenham (2-1).
New signings Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have added pace and intensity to offer fans a glimpse of a new era of attacking football, and Tuesday's friendly in the Norwegian capital will be a proud one for Solskjaer to cap a momentous year.

Predicted lineups and team news
Romelu Lukaku has been left out of Solskjaer's travelling squad, with no mention of the Belgian striker in the club's team news update on their website.
Matteo Darmain is also out with the full-back surplus to requirements, while Eric Bailly is sidelined as United face an anxious wait to discover how serious his knee injury is.
Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Wan-Bissaka have played the most of any of the squad in pre-season (197 minutes apiece), and will likely start again as Solskjaer plans for the opening Premier League game of the season vs Chelsea on 11 August.
