Manchester United vs ASEAN All-Stars LIVE!
Manchester United’s abject season went from bad to worse on Wednesday as the Red Devils fell to a 1-0 defeat in Kuala Lumpur. Ruben Amorim cut a miserable figure throughout the friendly as his side were unable to break down the ASEAN All-Stars, a super-team comprised of Southeast Asian and Australian players. His already irredeemable campaign was somehow made more bleak.
While Amorim named a strong squad, featuring five of those who started the Europa League final, it was no surprise that United were groggy off the mark, having flown to Kuala Lumpur just hours after finishing their Premier League campaign with a win over Aston Villa on Sunday. But jetlag aside, there can be few excuses for the quality of their performance.
In the first half hour, All-Stars looked far more likely to score, going close through Nguyen Hai Long and Amani Aguinaldo, but the deadlock remained as Andre Onana made some important stops.
