Leao among eight Milan players excluded for Manchester United friendly

Summary

AC Milan will face Manchester United in a pre-season friendly in Poland on Saturday, with notable absentees including Rafael Leao and seven other players. Head coach Ruben Amorim has not included these players in the squad as they are deemed unnecessary for the team's future. Reports indicate a list of players, including Leao, Christopher Nkunku, and Fikayo Tomori, may be up for sale if suitable offers arise. Leao is absent due to a muscular injury, which also raises concerns about his participation in their Serie A match against Torino next weekend.
