Man Utd beaten by former boss Amorim’s AC Milan in friendly finale

Manchester United's pre-season campaign concluded with a 4-2 loss to former club AC Milan, managed by former United boss Ruben Amorim. Michael Carrick's side took the lead twice, thanks to Harry Maguire and Patrick Dorgu, but fell behind three times to Milan's close-range goals. Ruben Loftus-Cheek added a fourth goal, securing a win for Amorim against his old club.

This marked only United's second defeat in six preseason matches, including victories over Atletico Madrid and a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain. Manager Carrick acknowledged the team's disappointment with the performance but saw it as an opportunity to learn and improve. Marcus Rashford made his first appearance for United since returning from a loan spell with Barcelona, while Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty for the second consecutive friendly.

Carrick emphasized the need for the team to learn from the experience and improve, given some players' first minutes on the field.
