Massimo Ambrosini names the four Manchester United players Milan should keep a close eye on in their upcoming Europa League meeting.

The Rossoneri travel to Old Trafford for the first leg of the Europa League last 16 stage on Thursday.

They are without several key players, including Theo Hernandez and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Former Milan midfielder Massimo Ambrosini recalled a famous 3-0 Rossoneri win over Manchester United in 2017.

“The first thing I remember is when we entered the pitch for the warm-up. San Siro was crowded and I took some time to enjoy the moment and forget the stress.

“There was unique alchemy. We had scored a last-gasp goal at Old Trafford where we had lost 3-2, but we knew that the last goal meant a lot.

“We won every duel, we dominated, and the fans were special.”

What game does he expect at Old Trafford tomorrow?

“Manchester United have changed since Bruno Fernandes arrived. They are a practical team, just like Milan. The Rossoneri must pay attention to Martial and Greenwood, who has talent.

“Rashford has quality too, but he picked up an injury in the derby against Manchester City.

“Milan must not concede the space to Manchester United players, they must keep control of the situation and be aware they are not inferior to United in terms of keeping the ball possession.

“They can qualify for the quarter-finals despite the many injuries.”

Gigio Donnarumma will see his contract expire at the end of the season. Does Ambrosini fear he can leave?

“His contract extension must be a priority for Milan. Gigi brought so many points to Milan with his saves and finding a possible replacement would be so hard for the Rossoneri. There are no players like him, I would do everything to extend his stay at the club.”
