Manchester United suffered a shock defeat to the ASEAN All Stars in a post-season friendly in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as the misery continued for Ruben Amorim’s side.
A terrible Premier League season had barely come to an end before Amorim and his squad were bound for Asia for two fixtures scheduled almost entirely with commercial affairs in mind. A relatively futile fixture nonetheless featured another totally flat performance as a scratch XI formed from across southeast Asia and Australia emerged as deserved 1-0 winners thanks to Maung Maung Lwin’s neatly-taken second-half goal. Defeat disappointed the many Malaysian Manchester United fans in attendance with few in red shirts really impressing at the end of a draining campaign.
There appears to be better news in the transfer market, with Matheus Cunha close to sealing a £62.5m move from Wolves. With no European football next term, Amorim will have a clearer schedule and big decisions will need to be made this summer on signings and departures: Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans are already confirmed to be heading for the Old Trafford exit when their contracts expire.

15:55 , Harry Latham-CoyleManchester United face Hong Kong looking to “bounce back” on Friday as their tour of the Asia-Pacific rolls on.
FT: Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars
15:45 , Harry Latham-CoyleWell that was 90 minutes of football that all involved will want to forget - perhaps aside from a few in the ASEAN All Stars ranks, who have beaten Manchester United. Maung Maung Lwin’s goal 19 minutes from time settled proceedings in Kuala Lumpur as the misery (if a postseason friendly can be termed so dramatically) continues for Ruben Amorim and his squad.
FULL TIME: Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars
15:42 , Harry Latham-Coyle
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 90 + 5 minutes
15:41 , Harry Latham-CoyleA superb tackle from Jim Thwaites! Corner-flagging like a rugby union wing, Thwaites gets back in the nick of time to take ball not man just as Tom Heaton appears set to be beaten for a second time.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 90 + 4 minutes
15:40 , Harry Latham-CoyleHeaton is back in his own box to collect a forward ball and gives it a lumping, though no Manchester United player can collect. Onwards we go towards a fifth minute of stoppage time - for some reason.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 90 + 3 minutes
15:39 , Harry Latham-CoyleTom Heaton gets his steps in (important at his advancing age) by venturing up to contest a corner, before rushing back when the delivery is predictably poor. That may be that.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 90 minutes
15:38 , Harry Latham-CoyleI did wonder if the referee had brought his cards with him when Patrick Dorgu went on a fouling spree without punishment in the first half, but there is a late brandishing: Godwill Kukonki commits a foul for which cynical is too kind a term. It might have merited a red given limited cover beyond him in anything other than a commercial venture of such futility.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 89 minutes
15:36 , Harry Latham-CoyleAlejandro Garnacho tests the structural integrity of the upper reaches of the stand behind the ASEAN goal with a truly wild shot. All in order, it seems - and an effort to rather sum up Manchester United’s performance/season/decade.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 88 minutes
15:35 , Harry Latham-CoyleNguyen Van Vi hauls in a diagonal and smartly slows things down, checking and finding a teammate. Manchester United don’t seem overly obsessed with winning the ball back, though you wouldn’t exactly be busting a gut in these circumstances. Not the time to twang a hamstring.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 85 minutes
15:32 , Harry Latham-CoyleTwo very good bits of football come to nothing for Manchester United - a magnificent lobbed pass from Bruno Fernandes is matched with a cleverly controlled square cross from Alejandro Garnacho, but there is no-one in the box to convert it.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 83 minutes
15:30 , Harry Latham-CoyleJim Thwaites goes sprinting in pursuit of a loose pass, desperate to get Manchester United going. Bruno Fernandes unfurls a shot from 20 yards that fails to make it to the box with ASEAN forming a resolute defensive block one more.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 82 minutes
15:28 , Harry Latham-CoyleAnother forward foray from Alejandro Garnacho is ended when the forward cuts back and back again into the retreating ASEAN midfield.
Amad Diallo then strays offside before connecting with a volley on the diagonal. Not well, either - over the goal it sails.
Watching the chance that wasn’t over the bar is the last act of Patiwat Khammai, who has been very tidy in goal today. Haziq Nadzli of Malaysia steps in.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 80 minutes
15:27 , Harry Latham-CoyleLovely play down the left from Manchester United sets up Chido Obi to sweep goalwards around his standing right foot - but ASEAN are back in good number to block.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 80 minutes
15:26 , Harry Latham-CoyleLovely play down the left from Manchester United sets up Chido Obi to sweep goalwards around his standing right foot - but ASEAN are back in good number to block.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 75 minutes
15:22 , Harry Latham-CoyleAmad curls a free kick past a four-man wall but it’s right in the breadbasket of Patiwat Khammai, cannily placing himself a few yards off his line to cut off the crossing angle.
Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars, 74 minutes
15:20 , Harry Latham-CoyleWill Manchester United up the urgency, or do they remotely care? They’ve looked a bit brighter with Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho on the pitch but defeat beckons as things stand.
GOAL! Manchester United 0-1 ASEAN All Stars (Maung Maung Lwin, 71 minutes)
15:19 , Harry Latham-CoyleThe All Stars lead! A brilliant ball and Maung Maung Lwin slots home.
Well well well. Adrian Segecic cuts inside on his right foot and threads a lovely pass beyond Godwill Kukonki to find the Myanamar striker, who shows calm and composure to deftly beat Tom Heaton. My word.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 69 minutes
15:16 , Harry Latham-CoyleSpeaking of Portuguese settlers, Bruno Fernandes helps create a chance for Chido Obi, with Harrison Delbridge in the right place at the right time for a second time today to deny Manchester United a goal. It wasn’t the fiercest finish from the young striker, and Delbridge could therefore control in comfort two yards or so from his line.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 67 minutes
15:14 , Harry Latham-CoyleJoao Pedro is on for ASEAN. He’s from East Timor, which roughly translates to “East of the East Island” with Timor a slightly bodged adaptation of the a word in the native language by Portuguese settlers centuries ago.
In less interesting news, Jim Thwaites is on for Manchester United.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 62 minutes
15:09 , Harry Latham-CoyleThe offside flag is raised - but that’s a poor decision! Alejandro Garnacho had timed his run perfectly, and was probably a yard the other side of the defender, if we are being honest. His tee-up for Chido Obi to create what seemed a certain goal is halted by the referee’s peep.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 60 minutes
15:06 , Harry Latham-CoyleA good bit of defending from Tyler Fredericson, reading a pass nicely to step across in its way.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 58 minutes
15:05 , Harry Latham-CoyleManchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 57 minutes
15:04 , Harry Latham-CoyleThe passes just haven’t quite connected for Manchester United often enough today - or all season, you’d say. Chido Obi chases after a ball in vain, sucking in big breaths as the humidity tells.
This time Obi does retrieve a through pass, but his clipped cross hits the head of an ASEAN defender.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 54 minutes
15:01 , Harry Latham-CoyleRight, here are those switchees. Aguero is off, with Thailand’s Ben Davis on along with Maung Maung Lwin.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 54 minutes
15:00 , Harry Latham-CoyleAlterations for ASEAN, too - or not! Sergio Aguero makes the traipse all the way to the touchline with Maung Maung Lwin among those readied, but it appears they’ve had a re-think.
A rabona from Bruno Fernandes draws oohs and aahs from the crowd but ultimately bounces harmlessly out of play.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 51 minutes
14:58 , Harry Latham-CoyleThis appears to be the updated Manchester United XI: Heaton; Fredricson, Evans, Kukonki; Amad, Fernandes, Collyer, Amass; Garnacho, Fletcher; Obi. Approaching their final stop of a long, long season, it’s all change, please, all change.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 50 minutes
14:57 , Harry Latham-CoyleA spot of misfortune for Chido Obi, firing one into the backside of Alejandro Garnacho, inadvertently playing a blocking role. It seems he may not have to worry about Garnacho in Manchester United red for too much longer...
Alejandro Garnacho casts doubt on future after not starting Europa League final
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 48 minutes
14:55 , Harry Latham-CoyleI’d imagine this is precisely how Evans foresaw playing out his footballing dotage. He’s been a surprisingly key figure for the last couple of years in stabilising affairs at Old Trafford through some turmoil. Will there be another club for a centre half who still has a lot to offer?
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 47 minutes
14:53 , Harry Latham-CoyleHeaps of half-time changes from Manchester United, with Tyler Fredericson and Toby Collyer among the younger entrants, and Jonny Evans adding a senior head.
Second half...
14:52 , Harry Latham-CoyleBack underway in Kuala Lumpur.
HT: Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars
14:37 , Harry Latham-CoyleWell that was certainly 45 minutes of football. It’s hot, humid, but anything but hectic - more changes are on the way, one would imagine.
HALF TIME: Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars
14:36 , Harry Latham-Coyle
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 45 minutes
14:34 , Harry Latham-CoyleBounphachan Bounkong is on for ASEAN, incidentally, the Laos international adding another nation to this multicultural side. The striker has had a decent couple of seasons with Svay Rieng in Cambodia, it would appear.
Good work from Jaydan Kamason on the right sets up a chance for opposite wing-back Dorgu, but he can’t piece a thicket of blocking bodies, making the save comfortable for Patiwat Khammai.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 42 minutes
14:31 , Harry Latham-CoylePatrick Dorgu isn’t that much older than the trio, and is still adjusting to life in Manchester after a January switch from Lecce. He concedes a free kick as he over-extends high up on the left-hand side.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 40 minutes
14:30 , Harry Latham-CoyleManchester United’s back three is now comprised of two 18-year-olds and a 17-year-old, Dan Armer, Ayden Heaven and Reece Munro like three students on a post A-Level lads trip to remember. It probably beats Magaluf or wherever is the party spot of choice for the current generation of Britain’s best and brightest.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 38 minutes
14:26 , Harry Latham-CoyleOff the line. Kobbie Mainoo very nearly opens the scoring, but ASEAN’s Harrison Delbridge is rather sharply across to block. Did it hit his hand? It’s tough to tell, but he gets away with it regardless, making it an excellent intervention.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 37 minutes
14:25 , Harry Latham-CoyleHarry Maguire wears a smile as he strips off his boots. He, Andre Onana and Diogo Dalot are apparently off to India tomorrow to build the Manchester United brand in another location in partnership with Apollo Tyres.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 35 minutes
14:23 , Harry Latham-CoyleRasmus Hojlund hasn’t had a great half so far. The striker has been a bit-part figure most of the time and on his rare touches with the ball has been careless in possession. It won’t have a bearing on his future, you’d imagine, though Manchester United surely do need another striker in the summer.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 33 minutes
14:21 , Harry Latham-CoyleKobbie Mainoo has taken the Manchester United captain’s armband, and draws the first save in earnest from Patiwat Khammai, sprawling away to his right to tip the drive around the post.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 30 minutes
14:20 , Harry Latham-CoyleHere come those Manchester United changes as Ruben Amorim sends a message to some of the senior members of his squad/understandably rotates in the extreme heat (delete as appropriate). On come centre half Dan Armer, midfielder Sekou Kone, right wing-back Jaydan Kamason and forward Shea Lacey.
Jack Moorhouse, Diogo Dalot, Casemiro and Harry Maguire are the men replaced.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 30 minutes
14:18 , Harry Latham-CoyleAndre Onana appears to be getting cheered/jeered every time he gets the ball. It’s slightly unclear if the crowd noise is one of approval or disapproval.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 28 minutes
14:16 , Harry Latham-CoyleThis is a broadly drawn ASEAN squad, with representation from all across southeast Asia and Australia - somewhat strangely, though global governing bodies have never really known what to do with our Antipodean friends, Eurovision entrants, of course.
Changes appear to be on the way for Manchester United.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 26 minutes
14:14 , Harry Latham-CoyleIt’s perhaps not the level of frustration he’d be showing in a fixture that actually meant something, but Ruben Amorim doesn’t appear best pleased with this start. Quite what he was expecting is slightly unclear.
That’s a good stop from Andre Onana, down low to his left in haste to keep out a daisy-cutter from the edge of the box.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 24 minutes
14:12 , Harry Latham-CoyleA header from Harry Maguire is directed down into the surface, the slightly thick grass slowing it somewhat and allowing for an easy collection Patiwat Khammai, the Thai goalkeeper.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 22 minutes
14:10 , Harry Latham-CoylePatrick Dorgu is whistled for a handball, though the wing back protests that he had been fouled beforehand. No dice for the Dane. ASEAN can’t make anything of the free kick.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 20 minutes
14:08 , Harry Latham-CoyleManchester United, true to their Premier League campaign, are struggling to break down the opposition.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 17 minutes
14:06 , Harry Latham-CoylePatrick Dorgu gets his positioning wrong as Manchester United push out after the set piece, playing Abdel Kader Coulibaly onside. Amani Aguinaldo should then do better with a lashed finish as he attempts to convert Coulibaly’s knockdown.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 16 minutes
14:04 , Harry Latham-CoyleHarry Maguire gets his feet in a tangle like an amateur ballroom dancer, tripping over himself and sending the ball spinning out of the disco. The All Stars earn a second corner in succession subsequently, again via a touch of Maguire’s leg.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 13 minutes
14:03 , Harry Latham-CoyleHai Long Nguyen tests the reactions of the fans beyond the goal again, skying a shot way past Andre Onana’s uprights.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 13 minutes
14:01 , Harry Latham-CoyleHarry Maguire takes a tumble in the ASEAN box as he eyes up contesting a corner kick. There is a fair bit of contact around the upper body of the Manchester United man, but the referee is happy with the grasping.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 12 minutes
13:59 , Harry Latham-CoyleHai Long Nguyen sidles up to the set piece and plants it over the crossbar. Might have been wide, too. Not his best, you’d say.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 10 minutes
13:58 , Harry Latham-CoyleJack Moorhouse has begun in one of the two supporting forward roles just in behind Rasmus Hojlund, with Kobbie Mainoo operating in harness with him. Moorhouse was born in Manchester but has been capped by the Republic of Ireland’s U21s.
Fellow youngster Reece Munro tugs back an ASEAN player to concede a free kick.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 7 minutes
13:55 , Harry Latham-CoyleA first flicker of a chance for Manchester United, though Diogo Dalot cannot pick out one of the assembled red shirts breaking into the ASEAN box.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 5 minutes
13:54 , Harry Latham-CoyleA frisson of excitement as Hai Long Nguyen zips beyond the Manchester United defence - alas, he’s offside.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 4 minutes
13:53 , Harry Latham-CoyleAn attempted switch from Casemiro is about 15 yards behind Diogo Dalot, who scuttles to retrieve it just about within the bounds of the broad playing area.
Manchester United 0-0 ASEAN All Stars, 2 minutes
13:51 , Harry Latham-CoyleThe ASEAN All Stars have also gone with a back five, matching Manchester United. A bespoke tactical plan for the “big game” with a trophy on the line? Given it is more than a decade since a side of this name last assembled, it is tough to say - though that 2014 fixture did raise a fair bit of money to support victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
This scratch XI could well be more organised than Manchester United, of course.
KICK OFF!
13:49 , Harry Latham-CoyleAnd in the name of commercialism, and a treat for the many loyal Manchester United fans in Malaysia, the encounter is underway.
Manchester United vs ASEAN All Stars
13:48 , Harry Latham-CoyleRuben Amorim has swapped his usual fashionable touchline wear for a bit of Manchester United training garb - much like many a European in the heat of southeast Asia. He perches on a pew at the end of the Manchester United dugout.
Manchester United vs ASEAN All Stars
13:46 , Harry Latham-CoyleThere is, incidentally, an Argentina-born Sergio Aguero in the ASEAN ranks today. In fact, the Malaysia international is skippering their side - fear not, Manchester United fans, this isn’t the former Manchester City striker pitching up for a new nation.
Manchester United vs ASEAN All Stars
13:43 , Harry Latham-CoyleThe Malaysian prime minister is here to meet the players, sporting an ASEAN shirt and Manchester United jacket - which is certainly a fashion choice.

13:40 , Harry Latham-CoyleOut the players come behind a tiger and a bear pilot (?), giving their emergence a slightly surreal feel. A lion presumably isn’t far away - oh my.
Manchester United vs ASEAN All Stars
13:38 , Harry Latham-CoyleRight, kick off nears in Kuala Lumpur, where it is hot and humid - as it tends to be. The Bukit Jalil Stadium remains the largest in southeast Asia nearly 30 years on from opening ahead of the 1998 Commonwealth Games.
Harry Maguire says players don't have right to complain over fixture
13:26 , Harry Latham-CoyleThis Asian trip is a bother that the Manchester United players would rather be without - but Harry Maguire insists the squad cannot moan after their poor performances left the club in a financial hole.
"It is the club's decision and we don't have any right to argue against it after the performances we have put on,” Maguire said.
"As players, we have to take responsibility for the position in the Premier League and the money we have generated this season through that finish, which is nowhere near good enough.
"We don't have a right to stand here and criticise the club for trying to generate some money that will hopefully help us next season with signings."
Ruben Amorim speaks out on Bruno Fernandes’ Man United future amid transfer interest
13:14 , Harry Latham-CoyleRuben Amorim has emphasised the importance of retaining Bruno Fernandes as Manchester United plan to make improvements this summer amid financial constraints.
The 30-year-old midfielder was a standout performer in what was otherwise Manchester United's worst league season since 1973-74.
The season was further soured by last week’s 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final.
That damaging defeat in Bilbao meant United missed out on silverware and a valuable Champions League qualification spot, leading Fernandes to suggest the club may consider cashing in on him.
Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are reportedly interested in signing the Portugal international, whose current head coach has stressed the skipper’s vital role at Old Trafford.

Andre Onana recalled
13:01 , Harry Latham-CoyleA recall for Andre Onana, one supposes, would suggest he may yet have a future at Old Trafford. Altay Bayindir hardly seized his chance to impress on Sunday, grateful to an early peep of the referee’s whistle for sparing his blushes after an error.
Manchester United team news
12:51 , Harry Latham-CoyleHere are the unfortunate XI of Manchester United players who have to go again three days after concluding a wretched Premier League campaign. Andre Onana starts having been left out of the win over Aston Villa, while Ruben Amorim appears to have picked four central midfielders.

What Ruben Amorim must do at Man United to bring ‘the good days’ back
11:55 , Jack RathbornSomewhere along the line, the lap of honour became a lap of appreciation. Yet Manchester United still felt like pioneers on Sunday, ending their season with a lap of apology. Ruben Amorim addressed the crowd in contrition following a calamity of a campaign. After spending much of his first few months at Old Trafford delivering doom-laden predictions and talking his team down, he at least provided a shift in tone. “Today, after this disaster season, I want to tell you the good days are coming,” he said.
It prompts a host of questions. When? How? Why? Really? And if none appear to have an easy answer, there is also a question of how Amorim would define “the good days”. Some would say United have not experienced them since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. Yet compared to their terrible 2024-25 – to borrow another adjective Amorim used – Erik ten Hag’s 2022-23 campaign, which brought a third-placed finish and a trophy, feels good. Even if it did not prove, as it then looked, a platform for further progress. Now, coming 15th means a 14th-place finish could qualify as improvement, if not good days.
There is a case for arguing that United were the worst team to stay up. They took 27 points from 27 games under Amorim, 10 of them against the relegated trio. In all competitions this season, they lost four times to the team that finished 17th, Tottenham. Under Amorim, they were beaten by those who finished 16th, 14th, 12th, 11th (in the FA Cup), 10th, ninth, eighth and seventh; the exceptions were Everton, in 13th, and United were desperately lucky to draw 2-2 at Goodison Park.

Matheus Cunha set for Manchester United medical after £62.5m release clause met
11:39 , Jack RathbornMatheus Cunha will have a medical with Manchester United after they triggered his £62.5m release clause at Wolves.
The Brazilian is set to become the third and biggest buy of Ruben Amorim’s time at Old Trafford as the Portuguese has targeted him to bring firepower to a goal-shy United team.
Wolves agreed a payment structure with United, which is believed to involve paying the transfer fee over two years, and have given Cunha permission to have a medical at Old Trafford.
Cunha signed a new contract at Molineux in February but it contained a release clause and there was the expectation he would leave in the summer.
