MILAN — New AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca has been met with skepticism and doubts about the club's direction upon his arrival. Fans are upset that Bologna revelation Joshua Zirkzee has apparently chosen Manchester United over Milan and that the seven-time European champion still doesn't have a replacement for the departed Olivier Giroud at center forward. Milan has not made a single signing during the opening days of the transfer window despite finishing 19 points behind Serie A champion Inter Milan last season. Fonseca says, "we all know that we need a center forward. We're working together to bring in the right striker with the right attributes."
