AC Milan emerged victorious in the friendly encounter, with Rúben Amorim's team outperforming Manchester United. The match was a significant event for Amorim, who had previously managed Manchester United before joining AC Milan earlier this summer. According to Voetbal International, Amorim was proud to have worked at Manchester United and expressed no negative feelings towards the club since signing with AC Milan.
Amorim's focus was on the future, as he is working on changes in the team. He wants to give young players more playing time, which requires creating space for them. This is part of a larger project that AC Milan is embarking on. Amorim's comments suggest that the team is at the beginning of a new chapter, and he is committed to making it a success.
In the match, Amorim did not use four players who are allowed to leave the team: Christopher Nkunku, David Odogu, Fikayo Tomori, and Malick Fofana. Amorim explained that they had done well in the team's preparation, but the team needs to make choices and implement changes. He was satisfied with the performance of AC Milan, and the team's win was a positive start to the new season.
After the match, Amorim had a friendly encounter with a BBC reporter, jokingly saying "Missen jullie me al?" (Do you miss me already?). This lighthearted moment suggests that Amorim has moved on from his time at Manchester United and is focused on his new role at AC Milan.
AC Milan will face Torino in their next match, while Manchester United will open the Premier League season with an away match against Hull City.
