Friendly: Manchester United 2-4 AC Milan — Ramos shines in prestigious victory

Milan made up for a nightmare start by beating Manchester United 4-2 in their last pre-season friendly, with Goncalo Ramos, Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Alphadjo Cisse on target.

Despite this being the final pre-season test , Ruben Amorim’s starting line-up still looked very experimental, even missing injured Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, Matteo Gabbia and Santiago Gimenez, with Mike Maignan and Adrien Rabiot on vacation. Manchester United took it more seriously, with ex-Serie A players Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Patrick Dorgu upfront.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek horribly scuffed a finish straight at the goalkeeper, while Pervis Estupinan continued to show his difficulties when asked to defend down the left.

Sam Lammens did need a big save at the near post on the RLC angled drive, and Milan equalised when Ramos sauntered down the left and rolled across, finding Samuel Chukwueze totally unmarked to sweep in at the back post.

Manchester United did manage to restore their lead after the restart, thanks to another absolutely shocking back pass from Terracciano, prodding it into the path of a grateful Dorgu inside the penalty area.

Milan fought back again, with a clever move from Alphadjo Cisse to spread the play down the right to Chukwueze, then made the run to meet the return pass and tap in at the far post.

Manchester United kept leaving Chukwueze in acres of space down the right, and he took full advantage, floating in a cross for the Goncalo Ramos header as Milan went 3-2 up.

They added a fourth moments later, with Loftus-Cheek also getting down the right and this time keeping his cool to beat the goalkeeper at the near stick.
