Manchester United fans are angry: Losing 0-1 to Southeast Asian United in friendly match

On the evening of May 28, 2025, Manchester United played an international friendly match in Malaysia, and finally lost 0-1 to the Southeast Asian Star United team composed of many players. This game not only surprised the fans, but also caused widespread doubts about the team's status, tactical arrangements and youth training system. In the

game, Myanmar international Miao Min-lein scored the only goal in the game. In addition, Vietnam international Hailong has repeatedly used his speed to attack Manchester United's defense line, showing his outstanding technical ability and game attitude, winning praise from fans on site and some Manchester United fans.

Manchester United sent main players including Maguire, B Fee, Menu and Casemiro to take turns to play, but the entire team seemed to lack organization and fighting spirit on both offense and defense. The entire game failed to create threatening opportunities, the offensive end was out of order, and the defensive end made frequent mistakes.

After the game, Manchester United fans were emotional on social media:

"Manchester United can't even play Southeast Asian star team now?"

"What level is this? A soulless game! What is Amorin doing?"

"The potential new star we have always praised is not as good as the opponent's unknown players. What is wrong with our youth training?"

"The Athletic reporter Laurie Whitwell commented:

"This is a friendly match with frequent rotations of personnel, but judging from Amorin's expression, he is obviously very dissatisfied with the team's performance. In the past week, Manchester United has watched his opponent raise the trophy for the second time, and this sense of powerlessness is spreading."

The day before, Chelsea just reversed Betis in the European League final to win the championship, while Manchester United lost in the friendly match on the same day, in a sharp contrast.

According to the BBC, the business trip to Malaysia is expected to bring about $10 million in revenue to Manchester United. Next, the team will fly to Hong Kong, China and continue another friendly match on May 30.

However, with the successive failures of the "exhibition matches" after the end of the season, fans are increasingly worried about the team's competitive state and future direction. How to rebuild a truly competitive team has become an urgent issue facing Amorin and management.
