Former AC Milan striker Giuseppe Marchioro fears for his old club.
Pippo Inzaghi's team have conceded 10 goals in three pre-season friendlies during their tour of the United States.
"You can't understand anything anymore, there is a confusion there and it is very difficult to get an idea," Marchioro said of the team's performances.
"The results in these friendlies show how much work there is to do to make up the lost ground.
"The truth is that the Milan squad is not of a high level and if it stays that way I can't see a future."
He added: "I think that now even the directors don't seem to have any more desire, they seem to have made peace with their conscience.
"Something needs to change there too, otherwise it will be impossible to see the Milan of 15 years ago again.
"A defender of an excellent level is missing, like De Vrij could have been, two midfielders and a striker that Milan do not have at this moment."
