Manchester United come up against former manager Ruben Amorim as they face AC Milan in their final pre-season friendly before the new Premier League season gets under way.

Amorim was dismissed at the start of the year following a miserable spell at Old Trafford after arriving amid huge expectations. The Portuguese coach is now settling in at Milan after taking charge of the Serie A side, but he is already dealing with familiar problems as he tries to implement his preferred three-man defence.

Michael Carrick has made an impressive impact since succeeding Amorim as Manchester United manager, and he will want his players to gain further confidence and understanding before the competitive season begins. Carrick is also keen to strengthen in the transfer market, and his team selection for this match could offer clues with only a week remaining before United’s opening fixture against Hull.
