Manchester United ended its pre-season with a 2-4 defeat to AC Milan at the Tarczyński Arena Wrocław in Poland on Saturday. Sportstar reports that the result saw Milan head coach Ruben Amorim, sacked by the Premier League side earlier this year, take the win over his former team. Harry Maguire, who was not part of the England squad at the summer's World Cup, opened the scoring within two minutes. Samuel Chukwueze equalised for Milan before half-time. After the break, Patrick Dorgu restored United's lead, but Alphadjo Cissè levelled six minutes later. Gonçalo Ramos and Ruben Loftus-Cheek netted a goal each to seal Milan's win, according to Sportstar. NDTV's report is briefer, simply noting the decisive 4-2 scoreline in Wroclaw. United, managed by Michael Carrick, open their Premier League 2026-27 season at newly-promoted Hull City on August 22. Milan travel to Torino two days later.
