Chukwueze Scores as AC Milan Come From Behind to Beat Man Utd 4-2
Nigerian Forward Inspires Rossoneri Fightback in Final Pre-Season Friendly
Samuel Chukwueze was on target as AC Milan came from behind to defeat Manchester United 4-2 in their final pre-season friendly in Wroclaw, Poland, on Saturday.
United made a flying start when Harry Maguire headed in Bruno Fernandes’ corner in the second minute, but Milan responded in the 37th minute when Goncalo Ramos set up Chukwueze for the equaliser.
Fernandes then missed a penalty before Patrick Dorgu restored United’s lead in the 51st minute.
Milan turned the game around with three goals in the space of 14 minutes.
Alphadjo Cisse levelled in the 57th minute before Ramos put the Italian side ahead in the 68th minute, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek completing the comeback three minutes later.
Chukwueze’s goal capped an influential display for the Nigerian, who also provided the assist for Ramos’ goal as Milan repeatedly exposed United down the right flank.
The defeat ended Manchester United’s pre-season preparations on a disappointing note, with Michael Carrick’s side now turning their attention to their Premier League opener against Hull City next weekend.
