Milan-Manchester United, second leg of the round of 16 of the Europa League. After the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, the Rossoneri deserved the victory and can complain about the regular goal canceled at Kessie, at San Siro a match will be played from inside or outside the flavor of the Champions League. Devils against Red Devils, the challenge is a special one. Mister Pioli recovers two fundamental pawns like Ibrahimovic and Bennacer, even if they do not have ninety minutes in their legs, but risks losing four: for Leao, Romagnoli, Calabria and Rebic the audition tomorrow morning will be fundamental. Taking this situation into account, let’s take a closer look at what Mr. Pioli’s choices could be.
IBRA FROM THE BEGINNING? – The offensive department is the one with the most unknowns. The trident should be the one formed, from right to left, by Saelemaekers, Calhanoglu and Krunic, while as far as the tip is concerned there are several things to take into consideration. The coach has announced that Ibrahimovic has recovered and will be called up, but it is obvious that the Swede does not have the 90 minutes in his legs. It is therefore essential to understand if Rebic and Leao will be able to recover: the two also trained in the afternoon at Milanello to try to be there. In the event that one of the two were to make it then the owner will start with Ibra ready to take over the second half. Otherwise the Swede will grit his teeth and start from the beginning.
KESSIE E MEITE – In midfield Pioli will not give up on Kessie, author of a great performance in the first leg; at his side there will be one between Tonali and Meite, with the Frenchman who seems to be far ahead of Sandro. Bennacer will start from the bench ready to take over from the game in progress.
MORE TOMORI – Thanks to the foot injury of captain Romagnoli, tomorrow morning he too will audition, Fikayo Tomori will start once again in the holder. At his side there will be Simon Kjaer, author of the goal that nailed the score 1-1 in the first leg. Theo Hernandez returns to the left, absent from Old Trafford due to gastrointestinal problems, while on the right Dalot has the advantage over Calabria. In goal there will be the usual Gigio Donnarumma.
MILAN (4-2-3-1): G. Donnarumma; Dalot, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Meite, Kessie; Saelemaekers, Calhanoglu, Krunic; Ibrahimovic.
