Milan was a revelation in 2016. He came of age this year. He started the year with DSK Shivajians in the I-League and even though the Pune-based club finished bottom of the league, there was no denying the quality Milan showed. Delhi Dynamos snapped him up without any hesitation.
And the Manipuri revelled under Gianluca Zambrotta. He scored two goals as well – one, an absolute stunner against Atletico de Kolkata that gave Delhi a point from that game.
Milan’s importance to this Delhi side was epitomized by the fact that he played 13 out of the 16 games that the Dynamos played in the league.
Playing with Marcos Tebar gave Milan the freedom to move forward more than he usually does, but he did not ignore the defensive side of his game. His biggest strength is his energy and he showed that as he snapped at opposition midfielders and did not give them any peace on the ball.
Milan’s destination for next year’s I-League is not yet decided, but one can be assured that whichever club gets him has one hell of a player on their hands.
