in Malaysia and were booed by fans. Coach Ruben Amorim said the boos “may do us good” after a difficult season. The club awaits updates on striker Matheus Cunha’s transfer.
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim accepted the boos after their 1-0 loss to the ASEAN All-Stars in Malaysia, believing it could motivate his squad. The defeat marked another setback after a dismal Premier League campaign where United finished 15th—their worst since 1973-74. Despite numerous chances and 25 outfield players used in humid conditions, United couldn’t find the net. Myanmar winger Maung Maung Lwin scored the only goal, triggering jeers from fans who paid up to £260 to watch.
Amorim said, “The boos maybe is something we need because every game we lost in the Premier League the fans were always there… Let’s see for next season.” He avoided updates on Matheus Cunha’s £62.5m move, saying, “You have to wait for that for the next season.”
The club’s rebuild continues with potential signings like Ipswich striker Liam Delap, while veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton is set for a contract extension. Despite the difficult season and fan dissatisfaction, Amorim praised the supporters’ loyalty, likening them to his childhood days supporting Benfica through tough times.
