Manchester United vs AC Milan Preview

Manchester United seem to be one of the few English teams ready to launch an assault on the Premier League this season.  As a matter of fact, if pre-season games are to be considered, then the Red Devils are well in shape and should be inside the top three by the end of the season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side has had what could be considered a successful pre-season as they have beaten the likes of Leeds United, Inter Milan, and Tottenham.

As a matter of fact, they have won all of their preseason games so far, scoring 10 goals and conceding just one.  They face some tough teams in their first few games of the new season and they will be keen to end their pre-season with a win here.

AC Milan are looking to get back to their former glory days, and that was one of the reasons they fired Gennaro Gattuso and hired former Atalanta manager, Marco Giampaolo, yet things don’t seem to be going to plan.

Milan come here after consecutive 1-0 losses against Bayern Munich and Benfica.  They have sold young striker Patrick Cutrone this summer and haven’t really made a major signing as they look to balance the books.

This game should see a Milan side eager to get their cutting edge back take on a United side eager to show that they are ready for the new season so expect an interesting and competitive game.

Bookmakers have priced Manchester United up as odds-on favourites to come out on top in this game while goal markets expect a lively game as over 2.5 goals is trading odds-on prior to kick-off.

This game gets underway at 17:30 BST.
