Manchester United kicked off their pre-season with a 1-0 defeat to ASEAN All-Stars in the MayBank Challenge Cup in Malaysia on Wednesday evening, May 28.

Myanmar men’s national football team captain Muang Maung Lwin scored a 71st-minute goal to condemn the Red Devils to another defeat.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim gave playing time to all the youth players in front of the 72,520 spectators at the Bukit Jalal Stadium.

First Half: Man United 0-0 ASEAN All-Stars

The ASEAN All-Stars came out all out against a star-studded Manchester United, with Hai Long Nguyen causing a few issues in the defense of the Red Devils.

The first goal on target came from Sandro Reyes, with Andre Onana pushing it out into a dangerous area. Red Devils made four changes in the 30 minutes with Harry Maguire handing over the captain band to Kobbie Mainoo.

Mainoo almost broke the deadlock, but his shot was palmed wide for a corner by Thailand international keeper Patiwat Khammai per SportStar.

Four minutes later, the midfielder had an effort blocked on the line by defender Harrison Delbridge, after he had won the initial free-kick out on the left.

Second Half: Man United 0-1 ASEAN All-Stars

After the restart, both teams were largely unimpressive, though the Red Devils showed some promise in the 60th minute.

Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes displayed good technique with a volley from Delbridge’s headed clearance, but the shot went well off target.

The only goal came in the 71st minute when Lwin received a pass from Adrian Segecic inside Godwill Kukonki’s area and finished confidently with a first-time strike, leaving goalkeeper Tom Heaton with no chance.

Manchester United will face Hong Kong, China, in their second match on Friday, May 30, per SkySports.
