Chukwueze and Boniface Shine in Pre-Season Friendlies
In a strong display for Nigerian players in Europe, Samuel Chukwueze scored one goal and provided two assists as AC Milan defeated Manchester United 4-2 in a pre-season friendly on Saturday. Chukwueze equalized after an early goal from Harry Maguire and assisted Alphadjo Cisse and Goncalo Ramos for further goals.
He aims to build on this performance under manager Ruben Amorim after a successful loan at Fulham. Meanwhile, Victor Boniface scored a late winner for Bayer Leverkusen in their 2-1 victory over Newcastle at St. James’ Park, having previously struggled with injuries.
Leverkusen's coach Carles Martinez praised Boniface's progress. Additionally, Maduka Okoye kept a clean sheet for Udinese in their 1-0 win over Padova in the Coppa Italia, returning from a shoulder injury sustained during pre-season training.
