Manchester United complete their pre-season preparations with a final friendly against AC Milan in Poland today. A fixture packed full of juicy subplots sees Ruben Amorim come up against the club who sacked him after only 14 months in charge back in January, while Marcus Rashford is expected to make his first Man Utd appearance since December 2024 at the Wroclaw Stadium. Rashford has been included in Michael Carrick’s travelling squad and is in line to face the manager who froze him out at Old Trafford in the first place.
Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez also return following their post-World Cup breaks, though United remain without Benjamin Sesko as they build up to next weekend’s Premier League opener against Hull. The Red Devils held their nerve to defeat rivals Leeds on penalties following a 1-1 draw in Dublin in midweek, having also impressed against Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Rosenborg after beginning the summer with a narrow defeat by Wrexham.
Amorim is still searching for his first win as Rossoneri boss after draws with Celtic and Inter were followed by a dismal 3-0 loss to Chelsea. Follow Manchester United vs AC Milan live below!

15mins: Estupinan whips a searching cross towards the back post, but it is well dealt with before it can reach Loftus-Cheek.
