After Manchester United lost 1-0 to ASEAN All-Stars, head coach Ruben Amorim thinks it will benefit his team to leave Kuala Lumpur with the sound of jeers echoing in their ears.
After defeating Aston Villa on Sunday to end a desperate Premier League campaign,
the team then flew 6,600 miles to Malaysia only to discover that their problems had not improved.
Manchester United’s old goalscoring shortcomings returned in the opening game of the post-season tour to Asia,
less than twenty-four hours after Wolves striker Matheus Cunha was cleared to undergo a medical before finalizing a £62.5 million move to Old Trafford.
Amorim’s team ended up using 25 outfield players because they were unable to create a series of chances
despite frequent substitutions in temperatures above 30 degrees and high humidity.

Furthermore, Fans who had paid up to £260 to watch United on their first trip to Malaysia since 2009 booed the team at the final whistle
after Myanmar winger Maung Maung Lwin’s goal in the second half gave a South East Asia XI victory in front of an official crowd of 72,550 at the Bukit Jalil Stadium.
“I always feel guilty for the performance of the team since the first game I was here,” said Amorim.
“The boos maybe is something we need because every game we lost in the Premier League the fans were always there. I felt when we finished every time the supporters were with us. Let’s see for next season.”
The United boss said he would not offer any update on the Cunha situation,
stating firmly: “You have to wait for that for the next season.
“It is for you guys (the media) to talk about. I won’t confirm anything. I have no news.
“We will see, but there will be some changes.”
With 42 points, Manchester United finished 15th in the Premier League,
which is considered to be the team’s worst season since the relegation season of 1973–74.
They also missed out on a spot in the Champions League for the following season after losing to Tottenham 1-0 in the Europa League final in Bilbao.
The trip is expected to bring in roughly $10 million (£7.8 million) for the team,
but it comes at the end of a season in which United has played 60 games across all competitions.
