Manchester United’s pre-season tour of Asia has been anything but smooth, with fresh drama surfacing following their friendly against the ASEAN All Stars.
The Red Devils are already facing internal unrest as players prepare to leave in what’s expected to be a major squad overhaul under Ruben Amorim.
A number of senior figures at the club are also under pressure after United’s failure to qualify for the Champions League last season.

United’s post-season encounter with ASEAN All Stars have done little to inspire confidence, and the mood among supporters remains tense.
And now, controversy has erupted after a Manchester United fan posted a video on Instagram of a shocking moment during the team’s walk down the tunnel in Malaysia.
The footage appears to show Alejandro Garnacho holding up his middle finger at the fan as he passed by, sparking immediate backlash online.
The video’s caption read: “Imagine saving up for months just to watch Manchester United play in Malaysia for the first time in years.
“And the players decide to give the middle finger.
“Not just this moment, but there were several other moments where the players showed the middle finger whilst taking selfies with fans… do the club not have any media training? Classy.

“Truly the people’s club.”
The fan’s sarcastic tone was echoed in the comments section, with some calling for Garnacho’s exit.
“Sell him man… too much attitude,” one user wrote, while another said, “Bro get this guy out of the club.”
Others labelled the winger a “spoilt child” and questioned the professionalism being displayed during the tour.
It’s not the first time Garnacho’s behaviour has come under the spotlight, but this latest incident has clearly rubbed supporters the wrong way.
And with tensions already high, this may be the final straw.
Ruben Amorim reportedly told Alejandro Garnacho to find another club following the Europa League final, and with interest from clubs across Europe, the 20-year-old looks set to depart Old Trafford this transfer window.
The relationship between player and club appears to have reached a breaking point — and a move now looks like the best solution for both sides.
