Man United target expected to shine

Manchester United’s summer target Kaka is expected to make a huge impact back at AC Milan by manager Massimiliano Allegri.


The Brazilian playmaker was heavily linked with a move to United in the summer transfer window before Allegri and Milan persuaded him to go back to Italy. Kaka joined Madrid in 2009 after a highly successful first spell with Milan. However his time in the Spanish capital was less inspiring and he found games hard to come by.

That prompted United to take a look at him in the summer as new boss David Moyes tried to boost his midfield options but the Brazilian ended up going back to Milan to work under Allegri.

Allegri said that Kaka has done great things at Milan in the past and despite a mixed time in Madrid; he has a great desire to succeed once again.

Allegri has also dismissed any suggestion that striker Stephan El Shaarawy could leave the club. The young Italian striker scored a glut of goals in the first half of last season but the arrival of Mario Balotelli from Manchester City curtailed his potency in the second.

Allegri said that there is no doubt that El Shaarawy could leave insisting that despite a lack of goals his performance levels never dropped. The Milan boss insisted that due to the amount of games coming up a big squad with various options is important if they want to be successful.
