AC Milan defeats Manchester United 4-2 in pre-season

Overview

AC Milan secured a 4-2 comeback victory against Manchester United in their final pre-season friendly at the Tarczyński Arena in Wrocław, Poland. The match, attended by over 40,000 fans, served as a significant reunion for AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim, the former Manchester United coach, who faced off against Manchester United manager Michael Carrick.

Manchester United established an early lead through a second-minute header by Harry Maguire, followed by a goal from Patrick Dorgu in the 51st minute. However, AC Milan responded with four unanswered goals from Samuel Chukwueze, Alphadjo Cissé, Gonçalo Ramos, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Chukwueze was a standout performer with one goal and two assists. Manchester United missed a penalty via Bruno Fernandes, which was stopped by goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani.

The fixture marked the return of Marcus Rashford to the Manchester United squad as a second-half substitute. Following the match, Michael Carrick expressed disappointment, stating, ‘We are disappointed with today... We simply did not play well enough,’ and noting there were ‘no excuses’ for the performance.

In the lead-up to the match, Amorim had discussed tactical plans, including the potential use of Adrien Rabiot in a more offensive role. Additionally, AC Milan has been managing the recovery of Christian Pulisic from a microfracture and bone edema in his right leg. While Amorim described Pulisic as a ‘really talented player’ who is ‘perfect for how football is played in Italy,’ the attacker has remained on the bench for several matches, including a draw against Juventus, as the club manages his physical load to ensure a safe return.
