Manchester United embarrassed itself in a friendly match against an All-Star selection in Kuala Lumpur. Thanks to the goal by Maung Maung Lwin in the second half, the ASEAN All Stars team deservedly won 1-0.

Andre Onana shows resignation after conceding a goal
The ASEAN All Stars team is a selection of Southeast Asian national players and players from regional leagues.
Manchester United played their last league game of the season against Aston Villa on Thursday and drove a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford. Nevertheless, the team surprised in Asia with the line-up and relied on some regular players such as Casemiro, Diogo Dalot and Andre Onana.
In addition, some youngsters such as Jack Moorhouse, who recently proved himself in the U21 team of Manchester United, played. Together with Kobbie Mainoo, who also comes from the academy, Moorhouse was in the starting eleven and supported center forward Rasmus Höjlund in attack.
The misery of Rúben Amorim’s team continues with the defeat against the All-Star team: The Red Devils finished the Premier League season in 15th place and lost the Europa League final 1-0 against league rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The game was one of two games on a marketing tour with which the Red Devils want to present themselves in Asia. The next friendly match will take place on Friday in Hong Kong.
