'There were smiles': How AC Milan squad reacted to Europa League draw with Man United

Sky Italia reporter Peppe Di Stefano revealed: "This match tastes like a Champions League one.

"This morning after training the players stayed here at Milanello together with the management and staff to follow the draw.

"When Manchester United were drawn, there were smiles that seemed like mockery, but there are also those who say that to become great you have to play these kinds of games."

Stefano added: "If such a draw had come a month ago, it would have been faced with greater serenity.

"Now the moment is negative, but I have seen the desire to reverse the current situation. The physiological decline is there, but against United, [Ismael] Bennacer and [Mario] Mandzukic should return.

"The DNA of Milan is a European DNA, they have never been afraid of anything. The draw must be accepted and faced."

AC Milan are second in the Serie A standings right now and if anything, their reaction to the Europa League draw seems a little modest.

Their injury crisis aside, they've still got players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic to take care of the goals. Our fans, meanwhile, have one major concern for this tie.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is relishing the prospect of facing Ibrahimovic and Diogo Dalot, who is eligible to play both legs because of the terms of his loan contract.
