The Portuguese forward was played as a striker once again, and really struggled as the Rossoneri offered little in the way of genuine attacking threat.

Leao himself had eight shots, four of which were blocked and the other four off target. This wastefulness epitomised a rough night for Milan as Udinese claim their second win at San Siro this season.

Milan 0-3 Udinese – San Siro boos for Leao after poor display

Leao was also shown a yellow card for sarcastically applauding the referee after a decision went against him, before being taken off with 15 minutes left to play.

As he was substituted, replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek, the San Siro crowd jeered the Portuguese forward, capping off a poor night at the office for the Milan man.

Head coach Massimiliano Allegri gave the winger a big hug and clap as he came off, in an attempt to cheer him up, but the overwhelming drone of boos from the home crowd will stick in his mind.

It continues a run of four games without a goal or assist for Leao, with his last goal coming against Cremonese at the start of March.

In fact, the former Lille forward has just two goals in his last ten games for the Rossoneri
