Andrea Bertolacci made his debut and Hachim Mastour scored in Milan’s 5-1 victory over Legnano.
The Rossoneri’s friendlies have been characterised by disastrous starts so far this summer and again they were 1-0 down to Legnano within the opening 10 minutes.
Ignazio Abate went off with a knock to the ankle and it took until the 39th to get back on track with a flurry of goals. Andrea Poli and Alex both scored from corners, then 17-year-old Mastour unleashed a rocket from distance.

Ex-Genoa and Roma midfielder Bertolacci made his Rossoneri debut in the second half and he should’ve scored, firing off target when one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
Keisuke Honda scored their fourth with a delicate chip and Simone Verdi completed the rout. Alessio Cerci missed a tap-in from point-blank range, then hit the woodwork.
