Noah Solskjaer was named in Kristiansund's squad for the high profile friendly set to take place at the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo on Wednesday morning (AEST)

The 19-year-old was one of several of the club's youngsters to be called into the team for the match after impressive displays training with the senior squad.

While Ole Gunnar's reputation during his playing days was that of a clinical striker, Noah has been described by his coaches as more of a play maker who likes to create.

Noah originally followed in the footsteps of his famous father by playing up front but has moved into midfield in recent seasons. 

United will travel to Norway on the back of an impressive tour of Australia and Asia winning all four matches, including a fiery 2-1 victory over Spurs on Thursday.
