'AC Milan players eat turkey!' - Montella denies vegan diet is behind slump

A run of four matches without a win is not down to the reported imposition of a strictly vegan diet, as the Rossoneri coach maintains they eat meat

Vincenzo Montella has denied imposing a vegan diet at AC Milan and that unrest cause by the supposed regime is the reason for their recent slump.

A report in La Repubblica claimed the outlawing of red meat and fish at Milan's training ground had created discontent.

Despite a solid start to the campaign, a run of four matches in all competitions without a win – the most recent three of which have been defeats – has seen the pressure on Montella mount.
