Former Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is facing criticism from the AC Milan board and supporters after they were beaten at home in the Europa League

AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale is set to hold an 'internal meeting' with Ruben Amorim on Thursday following their dismal 2-0 defeat to Benfica in the Europa League.

Amorim was appointed as Milan's new head coach in the summer and has made an unbeaten start to life in Serie A, winning two and drawing two of his opening four league matches.

But, after beating Torino and Venezia, Cardinale has been left disappointed with Milan's performances across their last three games, having drawn 1-1 at Juventus and 2-2 at Lazio, before losing against Benfica at San Siro.

Now, according to reports in Milan, Cardinale has scheduled crisis talks with Amorim to discuss their start to the season and recent performances, including the defeat to Benfica.

Milan were fortunate to pick up a point against Juventus, having registered just THREE shots with one on target across the entire game. In contrast, Juve had 18 shots with five of them on target.

They then went to Lazio and had to come from 2-0 down to pick up a point at Stadio Olimpico. Although Milan were much more threatening on this occasion, they still didn't do enough to win the match.
