After a disappointing season, Manchester United’s manager Ruben Amorim’s players were booed off after a friendly defeat in Malaysia, and manager Ruben Amorim said on Thursday that they were unable to “hide.”
United immediately flew out on Sunday for lucrative friendlies in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong after finishing 15th in the Premier League and failing to win a trophy.
However, his team lost 1-0 to a Southeast Asian XI on Wednesday in the capital of Malaysia if they were hoping for some respite in Asia.

United’s players left on their feet while hearing boos as they faced another friendly against Hong Kong’s representative team on Friday.
At the conclusion of a long and unsatisfying campaign, Amorim said, “We’ve had the season that we had and it’s not easy for us to face the fans around the world.”
“But we also want to give fans something,” he continued. We are traveling, don’t have the necessary adjustments, and don’t have the necessary time to communicate with fans.
“But it’s obvious that we cannot hide,” adding that “if there is one thing that is truly important in this club, it’s that we need to face our fans right now and give something to our fans all over the world.”
Amorim, who succeeded in improving the performances of his side of first-teamers and youngsters, said that his team was “not really focused” on Wednesday’s defeat.
Everyone can sense it, they say. But he said, “I understand the fans (booing), I understand the players, and you also understand that we want to give the fans something,” “but it’s difficult in this moment.”
The Portuguese coach, who is 40, claimed to have learned that being Manchester United manager meant being “more than a coach.”
You must improve as a person and a leader, they say. I try to control that, but you may notice that I’m occasionally frustrated after the games.
He continued, “When you have results, everything becomes so much easier.”
On the eve of the game, heavy rain poured down on the 40, 000-capacity Hong Kong Stadium, making Amorim desperate to avoid any additional injuries to wrap up the campaign.
Amorim made fun of the fact that “the weather looks like Manchester.”
The best way to protect our players from injuries, he added, is if we are professional and concentrate on the game.
