Ruben Amorim, who previously managed Manchester United for 14 months, is now in charge of AC Milan. The Portuguese coach has stated that he felt no emotion after beating his former club in their final preseason friendly.
AC Milan came from behind to secure the victory, thanks to goals from Samuel Chukwueze, Alphadjo Cissè, Gonçalo Ramos, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. This result gives AC Milan a boost ahead of their Serie A campaign, which begins next weekend at Torino.
Amorim's comments also provide insight into his current squad. He stated that Rafael Leão will have to fight for his place in the AC Milan squad, with competition from players such as Christian Pulisic and Alexis Saelemaekers. Additionally, Amorim confirmed that Mike Maignan and Adrien Rabiot had been given extra time off at his request and will return to Milan on Sunday to prepare for the opening league fixture.
Amorim believes Rafael Leão's injury is not serious, which will be a relief to AC Milan fans eager to see the Portugal international back on the pitch soon.
