Samuel Chukwueze leveled the score for Milan before halftime, capitalizing on a pass from Goncalo Ramos. The second half continued with drama as Patrick Dorgu put United back in front in the 51st minute, exploiting a defensive error. However, Milan's response was swift. Alphadjo Cisse equalized in the 57th minute, reigniting Milan's attacking fervor.

Goncalo Ramos then headed Milan into the lead in the 68th minute following an accurate cross from Chukwueze. Just four minutes later, Ruben Loftus-Cheek sealed the victory with a powerful shot into the near post, extending Milan's lead to 4-2. Despite late efforts from Manchester United, Torriani made several key saves to preserve Milan's lead.

The win provides AC Milan with positive momentum heading into the new season, while Manchester United faces challenges that require immediate attention.
