Ronaldo remains keen to leave the club this summer and has stayed away for the entire of new manager Erik ten Hag’s first weeks as he tried to engineer a move to no avail.
The Portuguese was not included in the squad which lost 1-0 to Atletico Madrid on Saturday but will join the second-string team in Oslo this afternoon.
Ronaldo is unluckily to start given his lack of exposure so far, so Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho are in line to lead from the front.
Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Eric Bailly and Luke Shaw could make up the defence, with Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal in midfielder having impressed on the pre-season tour of Australia.
Manchester United predicted starting line-up: Bishop; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Bailly, Shaw; Savage, Iqbal, Hannibal; Amad, Chong, Garnacho
