Manchester United Booed After Southeast Asia Friendly Loss

Manchester United endured a disappointing 1-0 defeat to a Southeast Asian XI in a post-season friendly in Kuala Lumpur, where they were booed off by a crowd of 72,550 amid sweltering conditions. The match highlighted United's ongoing struggles following their worst Premier League season since 1974, with the team appearing lethargic and lacking ideas throughout the game. Ruben Amorim, the manager, expressed frustration but emphasized the need for belief and hunger to improve, while finding some positives in performances from younger players. The winning goal was scored by Myanmar's Maung Maung Lwin, a player for Thailand's Lamphun Warriors, marking a memorable moment for the Southeast Asian side. Despite the loss, Amorim was relieved there were no injuries and remains focused on team improvement and rotation during the lucrative Asia tour, which is expected to earn the club around £8 million. Manchester United's CEO, Omar Berrada, acknowledged the club's difficult past season but urged moving forward as the team prepares for a significant summer ahead.
