Manchester United lost 0-1 friendlies! Amorim angrily scolded the players for not being motivated and called on the fans to boo the team

Manchester United can't even score goals and win titles in commercial matches! In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, they lost 0-1 against the ASEAN Stars and missed out on the Maybank Cup. Ruben Amorim used as many as 27 players and the game was rather dull, leaving Red Devils fans squandered 90 minutes.

Despite the poor performance of Manchester United these days, 72,550 fans still enter the Bukit Jalil National Stadium to watch the game. Amorim fielded a strong starter, including Andre Onana, Harry Maguire, Kobe Maynor, Casemiro and other main players. Among them, Maguire started as captain for the first time since 2023.

And the ASEAN star team has Sergio Aguero in the squad, certainly not the Argentine top scorer of the past. The ASEAN star team, which was cobbled together by players from the leagues of Southeast Asia and didn't even have a manager, came close to scoring at the start when they burst into the box and fired wide, but unfortunately it went just wide.

The Reds had occasional chances to score, with the goalkeeper saving a low long-range shot from the captain's armband after Harry Maguire's departure that the goalkeeper was able to save as the first half drew 0-0. In the stands, Manchester United chief executive Omar Berada is still in a suit in the sweltering heat, while technical director Jason Wilcox is not in Asia and is working on a more important summer transfer.

Amorim made all 11 changes at half-time, with De Ligt, Zirkze, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount not included in the squad of the 32 players on the Asian tour, goalkeeper Altay Baindier was the only player in the 28-man squad who did not appear, and Bruno Fernandes and Garnacho both featured in the second half, both of whom were the protagonists of transfer rumours and could leave this summer. Fans chanted "Bruno stays". Fernandes had one or two shots on goal that sparked cheers from the crowd, while Garnacho ...... blocked a shot from teammate Cheedo Obi.

United fans weren't exactly enthusiastic, with midfielder Toby Collier's low-level pass mistake sparking boos and ridicule, with 72,000 spectators hoping United would at least score. Sadly, it was the ASEAN Stars who scored the goal. The 20-year-old Australian Segčic sent a diagonal pass and the 29-year-old Myanmar's Mangmanlun crossed the Manchester United defence and scored a one-on-one shot against the goalkeeper to give the ASEAN Stars a 1-0 lead over Manchester United. Mangmanlun raised his arms to the sky and roared, although it was only a warm-up match, but he will go down in the history of Malaysian and Myanmar football.

Before the end of the game, the ASEAN Stars had another chance to extend their lead, but it was unfortunately saved by the youngsters who returned to the United defence. However, the Red Devils are still struggling to salvage their defeat, losing 1-0 and will travel to Hong Kong, China, on Friday for their second commercial game against Hong Kong, taking away £8 million in appearance fees.

After the game, Amorim bombarded his team and advised United fans to boo them even more mercilessly! "Ever since I've been here, I've always been ashamed of the team's performance." 'I feel guilty about the fans, their boos are probably what the team needs, because we lost 18 games in the Premier League and they always supported us. I can feel the support from the fans, let's see next season."

As for United's performance, Amorim admits it wasn't good enough. 'We deserved to play better, the players were too slow. We didn't show the determination to win every game in training, but the important thing is that no one got hurt. For some players, this playoff is an adventure. But you have to show respect to the fans and you deserve to win this kind of game."

The Manchester United boss said that in the hot and humid climate of Southeast Asia, the players will be suffocated in training and matches, but he is not satisfied with the fighting spirit of his players.

"Yes, of course it was a disappointing result, but we overcame the harsh conditions and no one was hurt," he said. We can't help but choke every time we train and play, and that's what actually happens. But no matter what, we all deserve to win games and the players need to show the winning spirit every game. Don't make excuses, we have to be better. Manchester United need to win every game, every training session and that's something we need to push our players to do."

Amorim also commented on the reasons why he stuck with the 343 formation: "I, like other coaches, have my own philosophy and stick to it. You can change, but I'm where I am today because I believe in what I think. We need to improve, but I'm still really confident. I felt guilty, just like I had said in the previous game. I have to take responsibility for the team's performance. For better or worse, and from the first day I arrived at Manchester United, I felt guilty."

Manchester United's £72million centre-forward Hojlund did not shoot or score even in the warm-up game, playing 45 minutes. Amorim said after the game: "Sometimes you can't think too much about it, maybe he should go on holiday and next season and the new training environment will probably help all the players to gain more confidence. We're missing goals and the coaching staff will assess them and be ready.'

Amorim refused to announce that United had completed a £62.5million transfer to Cunha, the first signing of the summer window. "You'll have to wait until next season to talk about it. I'm not going to confirm any transfers, I haven't heard from it yet. We'll see, there will be some changes in the team."
