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!

Elsewhere today, various Premier League sides are completing their pre-season preparations.
"Well that's what we're trying to do. A little bit depends on what position that is and what you’ve got and the dynamics you need at certain points. Sometimes you do need that if it’s the right player.
“Again, it’s not purely on money. Obviously over time we need to be pushing to look to enhance the squad. So, yeah, 100% we need to do that.
“We’ve done really good business. So we’re delighted with that [but] we want more, we need more, we keep looking for how we can do that, so that never stops.”

Two former Chelsea players feature in Ruben Amorim’s latest ‘bomb squad’ as the ex-Manchester United manager continues to stamp his authority on AC Milan.
The Portuguese took over the reins of the Italian club earlier this summer, having been relieved of his duties at Old Trafford back in January, having criticised the club’s hierarchy publicly in the aftermath of a 1-1 draw with Leeds United.
Now, he has succeeded Massimiliano Allegri at the San Siro, but he has already bookmarked seven names that do not feature in his plans this season.
The Daily Mail report that there are three former Premier League stars in that list, including two formerly of Chelsea.
Those ex-Blues are Fikayo Tomori and Christopher Nkunku, while Pervis Estupinan, the old Brighton left-back, has also been made surplus to requirements.
