Manchester United lost 4-2 to AC Milan in a pre-season friendly, managed by former United boss Ruben Amorim. The defeat exposed persistent defensive weaknesses, particularly at left-back, where Luke Shaw struggled to contain Milan's wing-back Samuel Chukwueze. New head coach Michael Carrick has publicly stated the need for more signings, with left-back being the priority. The article notes that United have scouted players like Lewis Hall and Myles Lewis-Skelly to provide competition for Shaw. The loss serves as a reminder of the squad's limitations ahead of the Premier League season and Champions League return.
