ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Simon Stone BBC Sport chief football news reporter in Malaysia Alejandro Garnacho is easy to spot with his distinctive bleached blonde hair. The Argentina forward received a huge cheer when he first go the ball and went on a run down the Manchester United left. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo are certainly on for Manchester United. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Simon Stone BBC Sport chief football news reporter in Malaysia The Manchester United skipper is one of a huge number of half-time substitutes for Ruben Amorim's side. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Will we get any goals? HT: ASEAN All-Stars v Man Utd (13: 45 BST) The dust has barely settled on the 2024-25 season but Manchester United have already started planning for the next campaign. Manchester United have met the terms of Matheus Cunha's £62. 5m release clause and have been given permission by Wolves to speak to the Brazil forward. Wolves earlier rejected United's proposal to pay the fee over five years. United will be required to pay the full fee for the 26-year-old in three instalments over a two-year period. They now have permission to conclude a deal with Cunha and set up a medical, with the transfer expected to be completed quickly. Cunha has made 92 appearances since arriving at Wolves, initially on loan, from Atletico Madrid in January 2023, scoring 33 goals for the club. HT: ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd I'm expecting a raft of substitutions when the second half resumes. .. I'll do my best to get those all confirmed. That situation with Ruben Loftus-Cheek was an interesting one. Chelsea played New England Revolution in a charity friendly in the USA in 2016. That game took place after the conclusion of the Premier League season but just 13 days before Chelsea were set to face Arsenal in the final of the Europa League. It also meant Loftus-Cheek was denied the chance to claim a spot in England's Euro 2016 squad. At least Manchester United have waited until after their European final to play friendlies. #bbcfootball, Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply) I remember when Chelsea had a similar after season friendly game. Loftus-cheek just had his best season and was destined for great things. He got injured in the friendly and tired his ACL, never got back to his beastly best. Hoping for the players sake they avoid injury. Bright - Chelsea fan in London HT: ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Simon Stone BBC Sport chief football news reporter in Malaysia One of my English colleagues just asked if there was extra-time and penalties. I have to admit, I don't know. I am pretty sure there will be no extra-time but penalties is certainly a possibility. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd That's it for the first-half. A couple of decent chances at either end but nothing to show. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Simon Stone BBC Sport chief football news reporter in Malaysia I mentioned a bit earlier about Reece Munro having an opportunity to impress. Well substitutes Shea Lacey and Jaydan Kamason have caught the eye since they came on. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd A double chance for Manchester United as we close in on half-time. Rasmus Hojlund has it taken off his toe at the near post after fine work out wide by Jaydan Kamason. Hojlund collects the loose ball and lays it off to Patrick Dorgu but his shot is blocked. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Bounphachan Bounkong is the first player to come off the bench for the ASEAN All-Stars with Abdel Kader Coulibaly going off. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Where are the goals we were hoping for in this post-season friendly? To be fair, a quick check of ASEAN All-Stars' history suggests it was false hope. They have played one game previously back in 2014 and it ended in a 1-0 loss against Indonesia with an own goal deciding the result. .. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Kobbie Mainoo almost finds the breakthrough. The midfielder, who was handed the captain's armband when Harry Maguire went off, volleys from eight yards and it's kept out by what looked to be the chest of a defender. There has been an improvement from the Red Devils since those four changes were made. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Kobbie Mainoo strikes from range. It's not the cleanest shot but Patiwat Khammai looks a little uneasy as he gets down to tip it behind for a corner. The resulting set-piece is overhit and out for a thrown-in on the far side. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Simon Stone BBC Sport chief football news reporter in Malaysia Manuel Ugarte made a decent block before but got up holding his hand. He seems to have shrugged the problem off but he won't be wanting to pick up an injury. He has a World Cup qualifier for Uruguay in Paraguay next Thursday. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd I mentioned we might see wholesale changes at the break but Ruben Amorim isn't even waiting that long. Jack Moorhouse, Diogo Dalot, Casemiro and Harry Maguire head off. Sekou Kone, Jaydan Kamason, Dan Armer, Shea Lacey are the quartet introduced. ASEAN All-Stars 0-0 Man Utd Another big opportunity for the ASEAN All-Stars. Sandro Reyes drills a shot low across goal and Andre Onana can only parry back into play where it's eventually cleared away. Copyright © 2025 BBC.
