AC Milan signed Mario Mandzukic on a free transfer in the previous January transfer market in hopes to strengthen the attack led by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The aim for AC Milan management is to keep going at full speed in the league with the right reinforcements to cling to the top 4 and why not even try to win the Scudetto.
As pointed out today by the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, the time has not come for Mario Mandzukic to be a starter for the Rossoneri just yet.
Even against Crotone the former Juventus attacker will start from the bench: it is probable that coach Stefano Pioli, however, would allow him to play some part of the match in the second half.
