Ruben Amorim celebrates first Milan win, says no hard feelings toward Manchester United

AC Milan's new coach Ruben Amorim celebrated his first win with the team after a 4-2 preseason friendly victory over Manchester United in Poland. Despite being sacked by Manchester United in January, Amorim expressed pride in his previous tenure and no ill will toward the club. He emphasized his focus on his current role with Milan, stating he still holds positive feelings for Manchester United.

This triumph marked Amorim's first success as head coach, following two draws against Celtic and Inter, and a 3-0 loss to Chelsea during Milan's preseason preparations. Meanwhile, Amorim cautioned his Portuguese forward Rafael Leao that securing a starting spot would be challenging, urging him to fight for his place after Leao missed the recent friendly against Manchester United.

Leao's future remains uncertain, with an offer from Turkish club Galatasaray complicating matters due to financial constraints, making it more likely that he will stay with Milan for the upcoming Serie A season. Milan is scheduled to kick off their Serie A campaign against Torino in the next weekend's match.
