Three games – friendlies, though – and no victories. That's Ruben Amorim's record on AC Milan's bench at the moment.Against Celtic, the Rossoneri saved their skin in the second half after going 2-0 down at the break. They salvaged a 1-1 draw against city rivals Inter, thanks to Christopher Nkunku's equalizer from the spot six minutes before the end. Against Chelsea, they were completely demolished, trailing 3-0 by the 50th minute. Amorim's team avoided an embarrassing defeat only because Xabi Alonso made several substitutions and the Blues took their foot off the gas.New AC Milan boss Ruben Amorim is yet to win a game in pre-season: D | 2-2 with Celtic ➖D | 1-1 with Inter ➖L | 3-0 to Chelsea ❌His former club Man United are up next ⏳👀 pic.twitter.com/Gh8KkHBQlb— RedDevilStephen (@RedDevilSte2003) August 9, 2026 In three days, Milan will face none other than their manager's former club, Manchester United, in their final warm-up match, and it could be the potentially most painful defeat for the strategist.The Serie A giants have spent €107.35 million so far during the June transfer window on three signings: Goncalo Ramos (PSG, €74 million), Mario Gila (Lazio, €30 million), and the talented 20-year-old Sankhoun Diawara (Troyes, €2 million).The squad still boasts a strong core featuring Luka Modric, Mike Maignan, Adrien Rabiot, and Christian Pulisic, while Rafael Leao's departure seems imminent at the moment.Milan cannot find a buyer for LeaoTherefore, the bottom line is simple: there are no excuses.Milan haven't won the title since the 2021/2022 season, while their only piece of silverware in the last four years was the relatively insignificant 2024 Supercoppa Italiana trophy.Amorim was brought to breathe new life into the Rossoneri and restore them to their competitive best, but for now, that goal remains a long way off.Like father, nothing like son: The Maldini contrastThe club's Serie A campaign kicks off in 11 days with a difficult away game against Torino, while the following three rounds bring a clash against newly promoted Venezia and derbies against Juventus and Lazio.Those early fixtures could set the tone for Milan's season and show whether they have what it takes to fight for the title.
