Manchester United in AC Milan friendly talks
Neither team has qualified for European competition this season, and with Louis van Gaal backing the idea, the two sides could well meet at some point before the season is out.
MANCHESTER UNITED ARE in talks with AC Milan regarding the possibility of a mid-season friendly match.
Louis van Gaal has previously given his backing to the idea of playing high-profile midweek matches due to his sides lack of European football this season, saying: “I fully agree. I like to play midweek games against high-level opponents.”
And Milan, who like the Red Devils failed to qualify for either the Champions League or Europa League this term, have been revealed as a possible opponent for the Red Devils.
Speaking to the Press Association, Milan director Umberto Gandini said: “This is something we have been talking about for a few weeks and we have a committed interest to do something together.”
