Match report in news

  • 93'
    FT: Man U 2-2 AC Milan (Man U win 5-4 on pens)!!!! What a game that was! Rashford opened the scoring before Lingard forced pens after Suso and Castillejo had put AC ahead. In the shootout, Man U made no mistake and both teams hit lovely pens apart from Daniel Maldini who hit a terrible pen with Milan's 5th. Man U win on penalties and are unbeaten in pre-season, but they don't get the trophy. That's all from us, thanks for your company and see you again soon!
  • 93'
    Daniel James, the local boy, to win it. And he scores!!! In the corner and Reina was nowhere near it. What a shootout!!!
  • 93'
    17 year-old Daniel Maldini to take and it's saved!!! That's a really poor pen by Paolo's son. Not in the corner and at a good height to De Gea's left.
  • 93'
    Angel Gomes now. And he finds the top corner!!! Unstoppable even though Reina went the right way. Super pens these.
  • 93'
    Krunic now for Milan. Oooooohhhhh!!!! De Gea guessed right and he got a hand to it, but it went in. Lucky.
  • 93'
    Mason Greenwood now for Man U. And the 17 year-old keeps his cool!!! Goalie went the wrong way.
  • 93'
    Andre Silva to take AC's 3rd pen. And he puts it right in the corner. De Gea goes the wrong side again.
  • 93'
    Ashley Young now, What a penalty!!!!! He thumps into the roof of the net!! Right down the middle. Not even with two GKs they would have saved that.
  • 93'
    Bonnaventura now. And he sends De Gea the wrong way as well. De Gea to his right, the ball to his left.
  • 93'
    Lingard next. Great penalty!!! Reina dived to his right and almost saved it, but it was right in the corner.
  • 93'
    AC Milan are taking the first penalty here. Calhanoglu to take it. He sends the GK the wrong way!
  • 93'
    The two goalies are with the ref for the coin toss. Both Spanish of course De Gea and Reina.
  • 93'
    This should be fun. Benfica have won the ICC, by the way.

    What a brilliant run by James and Calhanoglu brings him down just outside the box. Yellow card and opportunity for for United to win it.
  • 88'
    United have another chance and the ball goes through to Reina.
  • 85'
    Greenwood is offside after good build up play. United finishing the stronger.
  • 84'
    Unbelievable play by Gomes twisting and turning past the defenders. The Milan defenders were bamboozled by his trickery.

Card

Yellow card

  • 73'
    Calhanoglu is fouled by Fred who is carded. Cynical.

Goaaaaaal!

  • 72'
    Man Utd level it up through Lingard after Martial plays him in!!! Shaw, Martial and Lingard combine before Lingard puts it into Reina's bottom left hand corner.
  • 70'
    What a hit by Shaw from Ashley Young's cross. He hit it just after it bounced, but it went just wide.
  • 66'
    Andre Silva can't connect properly with a cross.
Substitution

at Manchester United
  • 65'
    Man U sub: James, Young and Lingard on. James got a warm round of applause. Tuanzebe on for Rojo.
  • 62'
    AC Milan are making some subs here. Andre Silva on for Krunic and Pepe Reina replaces Donnarumma. Unsurprisingly, he gets booed because of his Liverpool past. Borini and Suso also played for Liverpool, but didn't get booed as they didn't play for them for as long.

  • 60'
    AC Milan score from the corner against the run of play!!!! The corner is taken short and Castillejo heads home. The ball took a deflection off Lindelof. Not sure who'll get credited with it.
  • 59'
    What a brilliant challenge by Shaw to get back at Piatek beats him. If he hadn't tackled him, Castillejo would have tapped it in in the middle.
  • 58'
    Pereira fires wide for United now after Mata sets him up. United much the better bar the Piatek chance since the break.
  • 57'
    Lindelof flicks on Mata's free-kick with his head and Donnarumma makes a comfortable save.
  • 56'
    Borini fouls Rojo and although the Argentine is injured, it's nothing major.
  • 55'
    Rashford makes a nice run, but runs out of pitch and it's a goal kick.
  • 53'
    Lindelof has got a knock here after Biglia stepped on his foot.
  • 52'
    United win the ball on the edge of the AC box, but can't capitalise.
  • 50'
    What a miss!!! Suso passes to Piatek who is one on one with the GK and he hits a tame effort at De Gea. The Man U defenders all raised their hands for offside and even Piatek thought he was off. He wasn't though.
  • 47'
    Shaw wins a corner after his shot is deflected. Corner came to nothing.
  • 47'
    Man Utd have got off to a strong start to the half here.
  • 46'
    We are back underway here!!!
  • 45'
    Welcome back everyone!!!
  • 45'
    HT: Man U 1-1 AC Milan!!!! Half-time here in Cardiff after an entertaining first period. Man U started the brighter and took the lead through Rashford, but in the 26th minute, Suso equalised with a lovely strike and the Italians took control from then on. United still a threat on the counter though. Join us in 10 for the second half!
  • 45'
    One added minute.
  • 45'
    Piatek forces De Gea into a save after the Spaniard did well to force him out wide.
  • 44'
    Rashford and Martial combine brilliantly, but Milan finally clear.
  • 42'
    I think United could do with half-time to be honest. AC definitely on top.
  • 39'
    What a save!!!! Suso puts in a lovely ball and Piatek dives in to head home, but although he doesn't connect, he puts De Gea off.
  • 38'
    Mata launches a brilliant pass for Rashford before the Englishman tries to thread it through to Pereira. It goes out for a goal kick though.
  • 37'
    United are looking a bit sloppy at the back here.
  • 35'
    AC Milan have only won Serie A twice in the last 20 years. Surprising.
  • 34'
    Piatek is flagged offside.
  • 32'
    McTominay gives the ball away in a dangerous position, but a Milan player has a shot which deflects kindly for De Gea. The Italians look better now.
  • 29'
    AC have a corner here. It's taken short and Piatek's header from Biglia's ball trickles harmlessly wide.
  • 28'
    United had just been warned a minute before the goal and that was a nice hit. Lyon and Marseille are after Suso and you can see why AC want to keep him.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Milan en el 26'
  • 26'
    And now Suso scores!!! Matic loses the ball just outside the area, Borini passes it to Suso and he hits it from just 25 yards and into the GK's bottom right hand corner.
  • 25'
    What a shot by Suso!!! The Spaniard hits it with his left peg from just outside the box and the ball curls just wide of De Gea's right hand post. That was dangerous.
  • 24'
    Man U are definitely the better side here. They look much sharper.
  • 22'
    Martial is caught offside on the edge of the box. Correct call.
  • 21'
    A ball is sent in for Castillejo, but the Spaniard can't get there.
  • 19'
    Borini is unhappy after Matic catches him late. It was a foul, but nothing given.
  • 18'
    Lovely play between Rashford and Martial near the Milan box before the move breaks down.
  • 15'
    Can United get two more to win the ICC?
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Manchester United en el 14'
  • 14'
    Rashford scores!!!! He leaves the defenders for dead and United hit the front. Mata I think sends a long ball forward, Rashford runs onto it on the near side and beats Calabria and Musacchio before finding the far corner. It took a little nick of someone, possibly Romagnoli.
  • 13'
    Castillejo gives to Piatek and Rojo makes a vital intervention to prevent AC shooting at goal.
  • 12'
    What a hit by Rashford!!! Martial starts a move down this near flank and he gives it to Rashford whose curling shot is tremendously batted away by Donnarumma.
  • 9'
    Pereira fires wide from 25 yards after Castillejo's inexplicable lateral pass finds him! Should have done better there.
  • 8'
    Martial sends in a ball to the far post and an AC head gets there first.
  • 6'
    Calabria sees his pass cut out by Matic and then Milan commit a foul while trying to win the ball back.
  • 6'
    Remember the Serie A season starts two weeks after the Premier League.
  • 4'
    AC have had more possession of the ball so far, but nothing of note yet.
  • 2'
    Calhanoglu wants a foul by Matic 25 yards out, but nothing given. It's a Welsh official in charge, by the way.
  • 1'
    We are underway after waiting a couple of minutes for it to be 5.36!!! AC Milan shooting right and in the white.
