After a slow start, the former midfielder has transformed the club's fortunes ahead of Sunday's Milan derby and next week's meeting with the Gunners
When Fabio Borini netted for AC Milan during the first half of the second leg of their Europa League tie with Ludogorets at San Siro, Patrick Cutrone turned to the crowd to celebrate his assist rather than running to congratulate his team-mate for converting his cross.
