Chukwueze shines vs Man United: 3 things that stood out in AC Milan friendly

Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze inspired AC Milan to an impressive 4-2 win over Manchester United in a preseason friendly earlier today, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 27-year-old, whose future has been uncertain throughout the summer, produced one of his best performances in a Milan shirt as the Italian giants secured their first preseason victory ahead of the new campaign.

It was also a first win for head coach Ruben Amorim since replacing Massimiliano Allegri earlier in the summer, with the Portuguese coach getting one over his former employers, who dismissed him earlier this year.

Chukwueze played a major role in the victory, contributing a goal and two assists in an outstanding individual display. 

He brought Milan level in the first half after racing onto a pass from summer signing Goncalo Ramos, following some comical defending from Manchester United, to cancel out Harry Maguire’s effort earlier in the game.

Bruno Fernandes then missed a penalty as the first half ended 1-1, before Manchester United regained the lead after the break through Patrick Dorgu.

Chukwueze was involved again in the Rossoneri’s equalizer as his effort appeared to be heading wide before Alhadjo Cisse reacted quickest to tuck the ball home and restore parity.

The Super Eagles star then added another goal contribution by providing another assist for Ramos, delivering a quality cross for the Portuguese forward to head home and put Milan ahead.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek completed the scoring as Milan secured an impressive 4-2 victory and ended their preseason preparations on a high.
