After losing to the ASEAN All-Stars, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim thinks it will make sense for his players to leave Kuala Lumpur with the sound of boos ringing in their ears.

The Premier League team flew 6,600 miles to Malaysia only to discover there was no respite from their troubles after winning over Aston Villa on Sunday, which came to an end to a desperate campaign.

In the opening game of their post-season tour to Asia, United’s old goalscoring failings struck again less than 24 hours after Wolves’ striker Matheus Cunha was cleared to undergo a medical before completing a £62.5m move to Old Trafford.

A second-half goal from Myanmar’s Maung Maung Lwin earned the South East Asia XI victory in front of a total of 72,550 people at the Bukit Jalil Stadium, causing boos from the majority of the fans who had paid up to £260 to watch United play their first home game there since 2009 to a significant portion of the crowd.

Since the first game I was here, Amorim said, “I always feel bad for the team’s performance.”

“We need the boos, maybe because the fans were present every game we lost in the Premier League,” he said. Every time we finished, I felt like the supporters were there. Watch out for the upcoming season.

The United manager firmly stated: “You have to wait for that for the next season. ” He refused to provide any updates on the Cunha situation.

It should be discussed by you guys (the media). Nothing that I won’t confirm. There isn’t anything new.

“We will see,” according to the statement. “There will be some changes.”

United’s worst campaign since the 1973-1974 relegation season ended in 15th place overall, with 42 points.

To avoid being eliminated from the Champions League next season, they also lost to Tottenham 1-0 in the Europa League final in Bilbao.
