On the evening of May 28, Man United had a friendly match with the ASEAN All Stars team, which consisted of star players from Southeast Asia. The match took place at Bukit Jalil Stadium (Malaysia).

The ASEAN All Stars have had very little time to work together. Meanwhile, the Man United players are not only of a superior level but have also played together for a long time. They only finished their season last weekend and immediately left for Malaysia.

However, the final result was a surprise as ASEAN All Stars won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Myanmar striker Maung Maung Lwin.

In this match, stars like Bruno Fernandes, Onana, Maguire, Dalot, Ugarte, Amad Diallo… played for a limited number of minutes. Coach Ruben Amorim prioritized giving opportunities to young, inexperienced players.

It's not a big deal for Man United to lose a friendly match with such a squad. But it's enough to make social media explode with "sarcastic" comments about the "red devils".

ESPN's fanpage posted the status: "Manchester United's first match of the Malaysia tour ends in defeat". The post received a lot of interactions.

Santaana fan commented: "If I gathered all the brothers in the neighborhood together into a team, I believe we could also beat Man United."

Jusper also had a humorous comment when he wrote: "The only person who takes his job seriously is definitely the bus driver, because he always makes sure Man United get to the stadium on time to accept defeat."

Another fan criticized: "I can't understand, the season just ended, everyone is tired and needs to rest. But no, they immediately go on tour and wear out their physical strength."

Dream Team, a football news site in the UK, also posted a suggestive status: "The ASEAN All Stars team has only played two matches since its establishment. In the first match, they lost to Indonesia. And then, they beat Man United."

What this page is referring to is the friendly match between ASEAN All Stars and Indonesia in 2014 for charity. At that time, Indonesia won with a score of 1-0.
