The Red Devils are set for the postseason tour in Asia.
ASEAN All-Stars are all set to host Manchester United in a hybrid friendly 2025 fixture. The postseason contest between the two teams will take place at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium.
ASEAN All-Stars are all ready to face the Red Devils. Kim Sang-sik, who recently led Vietnam to the ASEAN Champions triumph, will lead the ASEAN All-Stars. Two top performers from the Philippine national football team, Sandro Reyes and Amani Aguinaldo, have been included to put up a fight against Man United.
Ruben Amorim-led Manchester United are coming in with a 32-man squad to play a couple of friendly games in Asia after a disastrous season. The Red Devils are coming in after winning their last Premier League game of the 2024-25 season. Man United now have a chance to set up some new set plays.
The Red Devils will also be looking to get some new players during the upcoming transfer window and the upcoming club friendlies will help them figure.

- Date: Wednesday, May 28

Players to Watch
Ezequiel Aguero (ASEAN All-Stars)
Hailing from Malaysia, the 31-year-old will be leading the attacking front for ASEAN All-Stars against Manchester United. He competes for Sri Pahang, a Malaysian Super League club. Ezequiel Aguero will be looking to leave a mark in the upcoming friendly fixture against Man United. While being in the final third for the hosts, Aguero might cause some problems for Ruben Amorim’s men.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
The Portugal midfielder has been the most consistent player for Manchester United during the 2024-25 season. Bruno Fernandes provided a crucial assist to Amad Diallo in the last EPL game against Aston Villa. That goal contribution led the Red Devils to an important win. Fernandes is going to play an important role for Man United yet again.
