Man Utd vs Southeast Asian Stars (7:45 p.m. today): Top competition

(Dan Tri) - The match between Man Utd and the Southeast Asian all-star team is not a title tournament, but this match is still attractive because it involves an English team.

*The match between Man Utd and the ASEAN All Stars will take place at 7:45 p.m. tonight (May 28) at Bukit Jalil Stadium (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). Dan Tri will report the match live.

This match is part of the annual summer tour of European football teams, including Man Utd.

The English team is very popular in Southeast Asia, so Man Utd often chooses Southeast Asia as their destination every summer. This time, they will face a team of Southeast Asian stars.

Among the players wearing the ASEAN All Stars jersey this time, there are Vietnamese players, including center back Do Duy Manh, left back Nguyen Van Vi, midfielders Nguyen Hai Long and Nguyen Hoang Duc.

The above players, along with their colleagues from Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia, will face world- class players from Man Utd.

Of course, Man Utd is considered much stronger than the ASEAN All Stars team. Firstly, as mentioned, the English team owns many world-class players such as Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Matthijs de Ligt...

Second, the ASEAN All Stars team had only gathered a few days before the friendly match with Man Utd. Coach Kim Sang Sik’s team (Korean) had little time to practice together, little time to assemble the team.

A win for Man Utd is what many people are thinking. ASEAN All Stars also do not have too much expectation to cause a surprise against the famous team from England.

Just through the match taking place tonight, the faces of the Vietnamese team, wearing the ASEAN All Stars jersey, will have the opportunity to get used to the atmosphere on the field, get used to the grass of Bukit Jalil stadium.

On June 10, Duy Manh, Van Vi, Hai Long, Hoang Duc and coach Kim Sang Sik will return to this field as members of the Vietnamese team, facing the Malaysian team. This is a match in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, a very important match for the Vietnamese team.

Therefore, Coach Kim Sang Sik and his players will take the opportunity to appear at Bukit Jalil Stadium tonight, mentally preparing to face great pressure from Malaysian audiences. They are mentally preparing before they return here, wearing the Vietnamese national team jersey, in a few days.

Prediction: Man Utd win 3-1.
