Manchester United are back in action this afternoon at Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur as they face ASEAN All-Stars in the first of two post-season friendlies in Asia.
Ruben Amorim will be aiming to draw a line under his side’s “disaster” season following last week’s crushing Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, but will first guide his 32-man squad through two money-spinning post-season friendlies, with the second against the Hong Kong national team – who they face on Friday.
Today’s opponents, initially formed by the ASEAN Football Federation in 2014 for a charity event to aid victims of Typhoon Haiyan the previous year, is hand-picked from Southeast Asia internationals and selected stars from the regional leagues.
ASEAN All-Stars have not played a match for over a decade, but a new group will suit up in Malaysia this week with Vietnam national team coach Kim Sang-sik at the helm. Billed as the Maybank Challenge Cup, the upcoming friendly will reportedly donate all proceeds to the Al-Sultan Abdullah Foundation, a local non-profit.
Marking United’s first visit to Malaysia since their 2009 pre-season tour, the trip is expected to generate upwards of £7m for the club.
