Manchester United cannot score or win even in business matches! In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the ASEAN star team lost 0-1 and missed the Mebank Cup. Ruben Amorin used up to 27 players and played quite dullly, making Red Devils fans say they were wasted 90 minutes.

Although Manchester United is quite bad today, 72,550 fans still enter the Bukit Jalil National Stadium to watch the game. Amorin sent out quite powerful starters, including Andre Onana, Maguire, Kobe Meno, Casemiro and other main players. Among them, Maguire has been the captain for the first time since 2023.

, and Sergio Aguero is in the ASEAN star team, of course not the Argentine super scorer in the past. This ASEAN star team, which is pieced together by players from Southeast Asian leagues and does not even have a head coach, almost scored at the beginning. They broke into the penalty area and shot, but unfortunately they missed a little.

Manchester United also had an occasional chance to score. After Maguire left the court, Meno, who put on the captain's armband, shot low from a long distance. The goalkeeper barely saved the ball, and the two teams tied 0-0 in the first half. In the stands, Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada is still in a well-suited suit in the sultry weather, and technical director Jason Wilcox has not come to Asia, and he is operating a more important summer window transfer.

Amorin replaced all 11 players in the first half. Among the 32 players in the Asia Tour, De Rigt, Zilkze, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount did not make the roster. Goalkeeper Altay Baindir was the only player who did not play in the 28-man roster of the game. Bruno Fernandez and Garnacho both made their debut in the second half. They were both the protagonists of the transfer rumors and may leave this summer. Fans on the scene shouted "Bruno stayed." B Fei's shots once or twice aroused the audience's cheers, while Garnacho... blocked the shot of his teammate Chido Obi.

Manchester United fans were not completely enthusiastic, and a low-level pass mistake by midfielder Toby Collier triggered booing and ridicule, and 72,000 viewers hoped that Manchester United would at least score. Unfortunately, the goal was the ASEAN star team. 20-year-old Australian player Segic made a diagonal pass, 29-year-old Myanmar player Mummann crossed the Manchester United defense line and scored with a single shot against the goalkeeper. The ASEAN star team led Manchester United 1-0. Mangmanlun opened his arms and whistled up to the sky. Although it was just a warm-up match, he would be included in the history of Malaysian and Myanmar football. Before the end of the game, the ASEAN star team had another chance to expand their lead, but unfortunately the young player who was returned to defense by Manchester United struggled to resolve it. But the Red Devils still have difficulty regaining their defeat and lost the game 0-1. They will go to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China on Friday to play the second commercial match with the Hong Kong team, thus taking away the 8 million pounds of appearance fees. After the game, Amorin bombarded the team and suggested that Manchester United fans boo the team more ruthlessly! "Since I've been here, I've always been ashamed of the team's performance," Amorin said. "I feel guilty about the fans. Their booing may be what the team needs, because we lost 18 games in the Premier League and they always support us. I can feel the support of the fans, let's watch it next season."

Amorin admitted that it was not good enough for Manchester United's performance. "We deserve to play better, the players are too slow. We didn't show our determination to win every game in training, but it's important that no one is injured. For some players, this playoff is a risk. But you should show respect for the fans and you should win this kind of game." The Manchester United coach said that in the hot and humid climate of Southeast Asia, players will suffocate in training games, but he is not satisfied with the players' fighting spirit.

He said: "Yes, it's certainly a disappointing result, but we overcome the harsh conditions and no one is injured. We can't help but suffocate every training and game, and that's what actually happened. However, we should win the game, and the players need to show their spirit of winning every game. Don't make excuses, we have to perform better. Manchester United needs to win every game, including every training, which is what we need to push the players to do."

Amorin also commented on his persistence The reason for the 343 formation: "I, like other coaches, have my own philosophy and stick with it. You can change, but I came to where I am today because I believe in my own ideas. We need to improve, but I still have real confidence. I feel guilty, like the previous game said. I have to take responsibility for the team's performance. For better or worse, and from the first day I came to Manchester United, I felt guilty."

Manchester United £72 million center Hoylund did not shoot or score even in the warm-up match, and he played for 45 minutes. Amorin said after the game: "Sometimes you can't think too much. Maybe he should go on vacation. The new training environment may help all players gain greater confidence. We lack goals, the coaching staff will evaluate and be prepared."

Amorin refused to announce that Manchester United has completed the transfer of £62.5 million in the first signing of Cunha in the summer window. "You have to wait until next season to discuss. I will not confirm any transfers, I have no news yet. We will see that the team will have some changes."
