LIVE! AC Milan vs Manchester United in an International Friendly on beIN SPORTS
Manchester United managerial ghosts of past and present are meeting on beIN SPORTS on Saturday, as AC Milan and the Red Devils go head-to-head before the start of their respective league campaigns.
Duel of historical teams
Both teams are starting their new seasons in different moods. There is uncertainty at Milan with Ruben Amorim now in charge having left Manchester United midway through last season after a disappointing spell on the Old Trafford bench. The Portuguese coach is under pressure to significantly improve on last year’s fifth place finish in the Serie A table.
Milan fans will look to see if Rafael Leão plays, with the unsettled attacker reportedly looking for a move out of the San Siro club. Christian Pulisic is still sidelined from the injury that blighted the American's World Cup campaign.
Manchester United is going into the Premier League campaign feeling more optimistic than in recent years. Michael Carrick is beginning his first full season in charge, having taken over from Amorin in January to lead United into third. There is more stability and certainty at the club with fans looking to see the likes of new signing, Youri Tielemans, beginning to make an impact already
With Milan and Manchester United beginning their league campaigns next weekend against Torino and Hull City respectively, the former and current coaches of the English club are expected to field near full-strength teams in a match live on beIN SPORTS.
