Milan book pre-season friendlies against Manchester United and Celtic

Milan have confirmed that they will line up against Scottish giants Celtic and Premier League heavyweights Manchester United in a pair of pre-season friendlies in the summer of 2026.

It has been confirmed that the Rossoneri will take on Celtic at Celtic Park in Glasgow on Saturday July 25.

The Milan squad will then depart for a pre-season tour of Australia and Indonesia, where it is expected that they will face city rivals Inter. Juventus and Palermo will also go down under during the off-season.

Upon their return to Europe, Milan will play against Manchester United in a neutral venue at the Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland, on Saturday August 15.

The Manchester United match will be Milan’s final pre-season friendly of the summer before taking on Torino away from home during the first round of 2026-27 Serie A fixtures the following weekend.

It remains to be seen what the Milan squad will look like for their pre-season tests. As things stand, the club still has no head coach, no sporting director, no technical director nor a CEO following the departures of Massimiliano Allegri, Igli Tare, Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani the day after the 2025-26 campaign ended.

There have also been reports that with no Champions League football and with massive uncertainty surrounding the club’s senior management that several first-team stars could leave as well, including the likes of Rafael Leao, Luka Modric and potentially Adrien Rabiot and Mike Maignan as well.
