AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly struggling to find a settled attacking midfield partnership this season. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Amorim has used six different players and five distinct pairings in the attacking midfield roles. The manager has acknowledged that he wanted to test every combination, but the constant experimentation has created instability in a delicate area of the pitch.

Notably, the starting attacking midfielders have yet to finish a complete match under Amorim this season.
