After a weak season, Manchester United wants to present himself on the Asian market. But the embarrassment continues.
Even after the end of the season, Manchester United does not come to rest. On a test trip through Asia, the traditional English club conceded the next bitter defeat – and experienced an evening to forget.
In Kuala Lumpur, the team of team manager Rúben Amorim lost a selection of Southeast Asian players with 0: 1. Around 70,000 spectators came to the stadium. Some left their places disappointed before the final whistle, after which there were clear boos.
Amorim used numerous regular players such as Harry Maguire, Rasmus Hojlund, Casemiro, Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo and Andre Onana. Nevertheless, the negative trend continued. For the Premier League club it was the next deep blow after a disappointing season: United had lost the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur and the worst performance since 1974 in the league with 15th place.
The club is currently on the marketing tour in Asia. The next friendly in Hong Kong is already on the program on Friday.
