In Malaysia, Manchester United stumbled to a 1-0 defeat against the ASEAN All-Stars, with Myanmar winger Maung Maung Lwin scoring the decisive goal. The match, played in front of 72,550 spectators at the Bukit Jalil Stadium, marked United's first visit to Malaysia since 2009. Coach Ruben Amorim believes the loss and the ensuing boos from the crowd will serve as a wake-up call for his players, who had just ended a dismal Premier League season in 15th place. United had multiple opportunities to score but failed to convert, despite making numerous substitutions. Amorim remained tight-lipped about the pending transfer of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, stating that any updates would have to wait for the next season. The tour to Asia is expected to generate about $10m for the club, but comes at the end of a season where United played 60 games in total.
