Despite the loss, there were many positive performances from the likes of Mason Mount, Ayden Heaven, and new signing Andrey Santos in the first half, while Academy stars like Shea Lacey, Harry Amass, and Jacob Devaney shone in the second.
Next up, United travel to Trondheim, Norway to face Rosenborg BK in the Lerkendal Stadion on Friday evening, kicking off at 18:00 local time.
While the first tie against Wrexham was mostly a warm-up fixture to get minutes into the legs of many players, it wouldn't be a surprise to see some of Carrick's more important players get up to 60 minutes.
Below is the latest injury news regarding all of United's players ahead of the tie later this week.
What happened: Right at the end of the first half of the World Cup final, Lisandro Martínez was taken off through injury.
