AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso is delighted for Vincenzo Montella over Sevilla's shock Champions League defeat to Manchester United.

Against Europa League opponents Arsenal, Gattuso will now look to the example set by his predecessor Vincenzo Montella, who he replaced in November, after his compatriot led Sevilla to a famous Champions League success at Manchester United on Tuesday night.

"I watched the game," he said. "I'm really happy for him (Montella) and his staff. It was a great game in terms of technical quality and they deserved the result.

"Our teams, in terms of characteristics, are similar. But we need to be careful because Manchester United didn't play their best but we know our opponents are very tough.

"I hope we can do the same as what Sevilla did."
