Chukwueze shines as Milan outclasses Manchester United

Samu Chukwueze delivered a standout performance, scoring once and providing two assists to guide Milan to a convincing win over Manchester United. The Nigerian attacker, formerly of Villarreal, consistently troubled the English team's defense throughout the match.

Milan, now managed by Ruben Amorim, found their rhythm in the second half. While Manchester United had taken the lead twice, first through Harry Maguire in the second minute and again via Patrick Dorgu in the 51st, Milan's resurgence, fueled by Chukwueze's brilliance, turned the tide. Alphadjo Cisse equalized in the 58th minute after a cross from Chukwueze, and Gonçalo Ramos headed home another delivery from the Nigerian in the 72nd minute, setting up Ruben Loftus-Cheek for the fourth goal.

The match also saw Marcus Rashford return for Manchester United, playing the final half-hour. However, a missed penalty by Bruno Fernandes in the 41st minute, his second consecutive miss from the spot, added to the team's frustrations. This defeat marks a setback for Manchester United's preseason, which had previously included wins against Leeds, PSG, and Atletico Madrid. For Milan, this victory is their first of the preseason, following draws with Celtic and Inter, and a loss to Chelsea.
