Former Sporting CP and current Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has stated that AC Milan require the experience of midfielder Adrien Rabiot for their UEFA Europa League campaign, while also noting the absence of defender Strahinja Pavlovic as a strange omission.
Speaking to Football Italia on November 5, 2026, Amorim emphasized Rabiot's pedigree in European competitions as a key asset for the Rossoneri as they navigate the knockout stages. The Portuguese coach also expressed surprise at Pavlovic not featuring, suggesting the Serbian international's presence would provide defensive stability.
Milan, currently competing in the Europa League, will look to integrate Rabiot's know-how as they aim for a deep run in the tournament.
