Milan vs Man United prediction and preview
Manchester United may be out of the Premier League title race, but are well placed to finish second behind neighbours Manchester City. The Red Devils have seen a massive improvement from last season and are almost certain to make it to the Champions League for the second consecutive season with a top-four finish. Following their draw against AC Milan last time out, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side clinched a 1-0 win over West Ham, to stretch their unbeaten run to 13 games across all competitions. Man United were guilty of missing some golden chances at home and will hope to nullify Milan’s away goal advantage when they make the trip to San Siro
AC Milan were more than lucky to escape Manchester with an away goal, and with a host of first-teamers returning, coach Stefano Pioli will fancy his chances at home. The Rossoneri saw their seven-game unbeaten run culminate in their defeat against Napoli in the last game though and Milan will look to bounce back to winning ways against the visiting Man United side. Pioli’s side have struggled at San Siro in recent times, failing to win their last four games, and coupled with the Red Devils’ impressive away record, Solskjaer’s side are favourites despite being at the disadvantage of an away goal.
