1. AC Milan defeated Manchester United 4-2
2. 3 goals were scored from the 57th minute of the second half
3. A missed penalty kick also remained part of the flow
Maguire’s Opener and Chukwueze’s Equalizer
According to the timeline from Vietnamese outlet Tin tức 24h, Manchester United (the English professional football club) took the lead after just 2 minutes. Following Bruno Fernandes’s corner kick, Harry Maguire scored with a header from inside the area to make it 1-0. The early opener left Manchester United as the side that scored first.
AC Milan (the Italian professional football club) also began creating chances from the middle of the first half. The report states that Loftus-Cheek’s shot in the 9th minute was stopped by Manchester United goalkeeper Lammens, and that Lammens also saved Loftus-Cheek’s close-range shot in the 15th minute. AC Milan did not immediately retreat after Manchester United’s opener.
The equalizer came in the 37th minute. As Yashari attempted to break forward, Manchester United players collided and fell while trying to stop him. With space opening up, Samuel Chukwueze finished a pass from Ramos to make it 1-1. The report presents not only AC Milan’s attacking execution in this sequence but also the confusion on the Manchester United defensive side.
Manchester United had another chance to regain the lead before halftime. A penalty was awarded in the 40th minute for De Winter’s foul, but in the 42nd minute, Fernandes failed to convert against the AC Milan goalkeeper. The score at halftime was 1-1. With the opener, equalizer, and missed penalty all occurring in the first half, it was difficult to declare one side dominant based on the numbers alone.
Three Goals After Manchester United’s 51st-Minute Goal
In the 51st minute of the second half, Manchester United regained the lead. According to the record, Terracciano’s back pass was loose, allowing Dorgu to win the ball and score, making it 2-1. Because AC Milan’s mistake led to a Manchester United goal, a defensive error in the opposite direction from the first-half equalizer changed the scoreboard.
But the lead did not last long. In the 57th minute, Chukwueze passed from the wide-open space on the right, and Sissè finished to make it 2-2. Chukwueze scored in the first half and recorded an assist on the second-half equalizer, directly influencing the match twice.
The go-ahead goal came in the 68th minute. After an AC Milan combination, Chukwueze delivered a cross, and Ramos finished with a header to make it 3-2. Ramos, who had been the starting point of the equalizer in the 37th minute, was recorded as the scorer this time. The renewed connection between Chukwueze and Ramos in the two sequences was the clearest combination of the second half.
In the 71st minute, Loftus-Cheek made a quick run down the right before scoring an additional goal with an accurate shot. The score became 4-2, and the subsequent record contains no further Manchester United goals. The report also introduces a sequence in the 88th minute in which Fernandes received Luke Shaw’s pass but failed to control the ball properly; the closing statement, however, records a Manchester United defeat and an AC Milan victory.
The same page’s headline includes the expression 2-2 draw. However, the timeline in the body presents AC Milan’s goals in the 68th and 71st minutes, along with the closing statement Manchester United 2-4 AC Milan. The headline appears to refer to an intermediate situation in the match and should be read separately from the final result.
Amorim’s Reunion and Plans for the Third Kit
The match also carried the context of Ruben Amorim, AC Milan’s manager, reuniting with Manchester United. Tin tức 24h reported that Amorim led Manchester United from November 2024 to January 2026 and took charge of AC Milan in June 2026. He said before the match that his time at Manchester United had been important in his career and that meeting familiar faces again was special.
Amorim said the friendly would be an excellent match, while also stating that once the game began, both teams would want to win. These were pre-match remarks. The confirmed match record is that AC Milan added three second-half goals to win 4-2, and the manager’s emotions or expectations should not be mixed with the result as though they were the same fact.
Another outlet, Góc nhìn pháp lý, reported that Manchester United had officially unveiled its 2026/27 season third kit and began selling it on August 14. The design is based on cream, with dark red and navy details, and was introduced as drawing inspiration from Salford Lads Club in Greater Manchester.
The kit reportedly places the Manchester United crest, adidas logo, and Snapdragon name at the center of the front. The collar and trim use elements reminiscent of the Salford Lads Club sign, along with an image of two Lancashire roses. The report also states that Lisandro Martínez, Marcus Rashford, and Bruno Fernandes appeared in promotional photographs.
However, what this outlet reported was a plan to use the new kit for the first time in the friendly against AC Milan. Based solely on the evidence provided, it cannot be confirmed whether the kit was actually worn in the match. The facts confirmed are its unveiling and sale, as well as the plan to use it before the match.
