British media mocks MU after losing to ASEAN All Stars

TPO - Immediately after MU's 0-1 loss to ASEAN All Stars, a series of British newspapers simultaneously satirized Ruben Amorim and his team about this defeat.

Although we know this is just a friendly match, and MU only has 2 days to travel and prepare for the match, so it is difficult for them to play at their best. But few people can imagine MU being so deadlocked and weak on the field.

Against Southeast Asian players who are considered to come from the underbelly of world football, Ugarte, Maguire, Mainoo or Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho all had very awkward and disjointed performances. This is the image that MU showed throughout the last season and it was even more highlighted in the defeat at Bukit Jalil.

The Express sarcastically commented on United’s performance: “United, a vastly superior side, were beaten 1-0 by the ASEAN All Stars, marking a disastrous start to the Manchester club’s post-season tour. Ruben Amorim’s side are 15th in the Premier League, having lost the Europa League final, but that’s not the end of their woe. The club were powerless against the ASEAN All Stars, despite having taken most of their best players to Asia.

Maung Maung Lwin, who plays for Thai mid-table club Lamphun Warriors, scored the only goal of the game, further embarrassing United. A complete overhaul of the team is possible this summer.

Meanwhile, Yahoo emphasized that at many times, ASEAN All Stars were even the better team than MU. “In the first half hour, ASEAN All Stars created more scoring opportunities. They had almost perfect moves from Hai Long and Amani Aguinaldo. Unfortunately, the ball did not go into the net. In the second half, the addition of Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo did not help MU change the situation.

They mostly keep the ball and pass it back and forth. Ironically, Alejandro Garnacho, who is about to leave the club, poses the most potential threat. Unfortunately, all the plays from this player cannot be successful,” Yahoo wrote.

The Mirror criticized Ruben Amorim, emphasizing that the Portuguese coach had just "brought MU to a worse limit than what the club had last season".

“Manchester United have discovered a new level of frustration as they let Maung Maung Lwin score the only goal to give the ASEAN All Stars a win in a friendly in Kuala Lumpur,” the British publication wrote.
