AC Milan schedule pre-season friendlies vs Manchester United and Celtic

AC Milan confirmed two pre-season friendlies for summer 2026 against Celtic and Manchester United. The Rossoneri will face Celtic at Celtic Park in Glasgow on July 25. Milan’s pre-season tour will then proceed to Australia and Indonesia. City rivals Inter are expected to be their opponent in the region. Juventus and Palermo are also scheduled for the same tour. Upon returning to Europe, Milan will play Manchester United at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland on August 15. This match will serve as Milan’s final pre-season fixture before their opening 2026-27 Serie A game away at Torino. AC Milan currently lacks a head coach, sporting director, technical director, and CEO. Massimiliano Allegri, Igli Tare, Geoffrey Moncada, and Giorgio Furlani all departed after the 2025-26 season concluded. Rafael Leao, Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot, and Mike Maignan are among first-team players linked with potential exits. The uncertainty stems from the club’s lack of Champions League football and leadership voids. The departures follow a turbulent end to the 2025-26 campaign for Milan. The club finished outside the top four in Serie A, missing out on European qualification. No replacements have been named for the vacant executive roles. The club’s administrative structure remains incomplete heading into the new season. The pre-season schedule provides limited time to address squad uncertainty before competitive fixtures resume. Milan’s management must finalize leadership and squad plans swiftly to avoid further disruption.
