Milan Need Momentum
Having finished a lowly eighth in the Italian top flight last season, new Milan boss Filippo Inzaghi faces a difficult start to his tenure with a round of matches against Europe's best.
Top of the new boss' agenda will be returning the Rossoneri's confidence. This is a team who are naturally strong in possession, but often lacking the incision to make a lasting dent in top quality defences.
Mario Balotelli remains key to Milan's hopes, despite his affinity for becoming lazy if possession isn't moved his way. American fans will hope to see the Italian in rampant form after the striker failed to inspire during Italy's ill-fated World Cup run.
Things aren't going to get any easier when the ICC is complete, noted by Daniella Matar of the Associated Press:
United Must Establish Confidence
Similar to Inzaghi, Louis van Gaal faces the difficult task of rejuvenating one of Europe's fallen forces. Manchester United suffered a catastrophic plight to seventh place under David Moyes and will be hoping to begin putting the record straight with a successful run in the US.
The incoming Dutchman is famed for his tough training methods and direct approach. As proven at the World Cup, he is the type of manager who regularly influences games with tactical changes during play, whether it's a clever substitution or subtle switch in emphasis.
United have plenty of faltering players within their squad—the likes of Chris Smalling, Tom Cleverley and Ashley Young—all of whom will receive the opportunity to impress. Van Gaal's arrival means a clean slate for all and hopefully the beginning of something special at the Theatre of Dreams.
Wayne Rooney remains the club's star attraction, with Robin van Persie set to miss the tournament, per MLSsoccer.
The hard work begins with a tricky schedule on the other side of the world for United, but strong performances in the USA will stand them in good stead ahead of what is set to be a very challenging Premier League season.
