After a 0-1 defeat to Wrexham in the first friendly match, Man United quickly regained their rhythm of play with a resounding 5-0 victory over Rosenborg.
After that, they continued to defeat Atletico Madrid 2-1 to win the Snapdragon Cup, before defeating Leeds United in a penalty shootout. Interspersed between these two victories was a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain, showing that Carrick's team is having stability in the preparation process.
The friendly match with Milan will close Man United's pre-season schedule. After that, the "Red Devils" will head to the opening match of the 2026-2027 Premier League at Hull City on August 22.
The attention of this confrontation is certainly in Ruben Amorim. The former Man United coach currently leads Milan and will meet his old team again for the first time since leaving Old Trafford.
The Portuguese captain was appointed Milan coach in mid-June, but his start in Italy was not really favorable.
The red and black shirt team has not won any friendly matches, drawing 2-2 with Celtic, 1-1 with Inter Milan and losing 0-3 to Chelsea in the most recent match.
AC Milan will close the preparation process for the new season with a confrontation with Man United, before opening Serie A 2026-2027 at Torino on August 23.
They finished last season in fifth place and added Goncalo Ramos, Mario Gila and Sankhoun Diawara in the summer transfer window.
However, the friendly results show that Amorim still has a lot of work to do to shape the team as desired.
