While the Reds claimed three important Premier League points with a 1-0 triumph over West Ham at Old Trafford, the Italian side had a disappointing weekend.
The Rossoneri have enjoyed a great season so far in their domestic league under the leadership of Stefano Pioli, but their pursuit of the Serie A title was made more difficult when Napoli’s Matteo Politano scored the only goal of the game at San Siro.
Following the disappointing result, Milan are now nine points behind city rivals Interazionale with 11 games of the league season left.
There was more bad news due to a hat-trick from ex-Red Cristiano Ronaldo in Juventus’s 3-1 win over Cagliari: the Old Lady can overtake United’s European opponents and go second in the table should they win their game in hand.
