Man United v AC Milan LIVE: Team news as Ruben Amorim faces former club in pre-season friendly
Manchester United face a reunion with former manager Ruben Amorim as they take on AC Milan in their final pre-season friendly before the start of the new Premier League season.
Amorim was sacked at the start of the year after a wretched spell at Old Trafford having arrived with considerable fanfare. The Portuguese coach is settling into Milan after being appointed by the Serie A club, though is already facing familiar issues as he looks to embed his favoured three-at-the-back formation.
Michael Carrick has done strong work since replacing Amorim as Manchester United manager, and will hope his squad can build more confidence and cohesion before the campaign proper begins. Carrick is eager to do more business in the transfer market but his selection here may be instructive with just a week to go until United’s opening game against Hull.
