Manchester United fans dropped a powerful reaction to Sekou Kone’s display after Ruben Amorim’s men were in action vs ASEAN All-Stars on Wednesday afternoon.
Ruben Amorim’s side are on a post-season tour of Asia this week after Manchester United’s lacklustre 2024-25 Premier League season came to an end on Sunday.
The Red Devils travelled to the Bukit Jalil National Stadium and United faced ASEAN All-Stars in a friendly match in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.
Amorim’s men came up short on Wednesday and United struggled to make a real impact in the final third against ASEAN All-Stars.
United were stunned in the second half after Maung Maung Lwin broke the deadlock – and found the eventual winner – for ASEAN All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur.
The Red Devils were left chasing the match after conceding in the 71st minute and Amorim watched on as ASEAN All-Stars secured the win over United.
