This afternoon, AC Milan will face Manchester United at the Tarczyński Arena in Wrocław, Poland and some news has emerged about the team.
Ahead of Milan’s final pre-season friendly, there has been plenty of news about the situation the club faces with injuries and the squad generally, with four players excluded in the past few days for several reasons.

So, we’ve headed towards this fixture with little to no idea about the XI that could be selected.
An update to the XI
MilanNews have now provided an update on their expected XI for the game and there are a few interesting inclusions. As predicted in last night’s preview, the backline will consist of Lorenzo Torriani, Filippo Terracciano, Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic.
In front of them, though, there are several changes. Samuel Chukwueze is given the nod ahead of Alexis Saelemaekers at wing-back again, whilst Pervis Estupinan has been given another chance, despite being named on the list of players who can leave.
Centrally, Luka Modric will be benched for Yunus Musah, who is largely expected to stay now and will get a start ahead of the Croatian veteran.
The front three, as expected, should consist of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alphadjo Cisse and Goncalo Ramos.
It will certainly be interesting to see who takes the armband here, with Mike Maignan and Matteo Gabbia not with the team and Modric not starting.
MilanNews’ expected AC Milan XI vs. Manchester United (3-4-2-1): Torriani; Terracciano, De Winter, Pavlovic; Chukwueze, Musah, Jashari, Estupinan; Loftus-Cheek, Cisse; Ramos.
Estupinan???????
Estupinan and Chukwueze vs Mbuemo and Cunha will be a tough watch…
Musah – Modric will be starters. He is testing Jashari to see what he can do but he’ll start Modric in 75% of the games. And Terraciano, not sure why people sh*t all over him. He has more experience than most players in this team and is only 23 years old. He was already a midfielder, left back, right back and central defender. He looks like a better backup than players we had before?
Why is Samuel given the nod ahead of Alexis AGAIN?! Why is Pervis now in the combination once again, why won’t RA field Bartesaghi? Or Alexis (on the left) for that matter? What is this guy doing, really, is he that short-sighted? Sui*idal maybe? I can’t wait to see him out of the club along with cardi g and sLatan and their f buddy kirovski!
Amorim will take the captains armband.
“It will certainly be interesting to see who takes the armband here, with Mike Maignan and Matteo Gabbia not with the team and Modric not starting.”
If RA starts like this (as you posted in the article), RLC will be carry the armband.
*will carry / will be carrying
Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to ask for an opinion on what the result will be against Manchester !? 🤔
