Manchester United faces setbacks in pre-season as Erik ten Hag expresses disappointment over Rosenborg defeat.

Manchester United recently faced Rosenborg in their opening pre-season game, resulting in an unexpected 1-0 defeat for the Red Devils. Despite having some key players like Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount in the lineup, Erik ten Hag's team struggled to find their rhythm, conceding 22 shots and narrowly escaping more goals. United's lackluster performance left fans and analysts questioning the team's readiness for the upcoming season.

The defeat sparked frustration from manager Erik ten Hag, who openly criticized his players for their subpar showing against Rosenborg. In a post-match interview, ten Hag did not hold back, highlighting the team's shortcomings and emphasizing the need for improvement. The pressure is now on the Manchester United squad to regroup and work on their performance before the season kicks off.

On the marketing front, Qualcomm's vice-president of marketing, Carmen True, discussed leveraging Manchester United's global reach in the English Premier League. True's insights shed light on the strategic partnerships between tech companies and top football clubs, showcasing the importance of branding and international visibility for both parties.

As Manchester United navigates a challenging pre-season, the focus shifts to the team's preparations under Erik ten Hag's leadership. With the spotlight on their upcoming matches and training sessions, the Red Devils aim to redeem themselves after the disappointing loss to Rosenborg.
