Only hours after their Premier League campaign concluded, Manchester United players took off for their post-season tour to the Far East.
After defeating Aston Villa 2-0 at Old Trafford, United’s failures were able to round off their terrible season on a positive note.
.
After the game, manager Ruben Amorim addressed the irate Old Trafford supporters and expressed regret.
Amorim’s team was flying to Malaysia for their post-season tour just hours after the game.
On May 28, United will play ASEAN All Stars at Kuala Lumpur’s 84,000-seat Bukit Jalil National Stadium.
They then play Hong Kong at their 40,000-seat stadium two days later to wrap things up.

A video of Mason Mount during their journey was shared on Andre Onana’s Snapchat after he was dropped against Aston Villa.
Additionally, photos showed Mount, Bruno Fernandes, and Amorim having a good time on their fifteen-hour flight to Malaysia.
With only injured Leny Yoro missing, Luke Shaw and Alejandro Garnacho joined the 32-man squad on the aircraft.
According to sources, Garnacho has been advised to find a new club, casting doubt on his future at United.
“Garnacho is a Manchester United player that is not in the squad today, but he continues to be a Manchester United player,” Amorim stated prior to Villa’s trip.
“Yes,” he replied when asked if he would be joining the post-season tour. We have to go meet our supporters on the other side of the planet and give them something, so everyone is going.”
Despite United’s worst Premier League result of 15th, Amorim took the microphone to reassure supporters that better days are ahead.
“I want to start by saying I’m sorry for this season,” he remarked. I am aware that you are rather unhappy with the team and with me.
“Secondly, I would like to express my gratitude. Although I am aware that it has been extremely difficult, we sincerely appreciate your support during the season.
“I understand that it was quite difficult to cheer us on throughout many games, but we must either make a decision or continue to live in the past because this season is done.
“We either fight or we band together and keep going. I told you the storm was coming six months ago after my first three games in charge ended in two wins and one draw.
“I want to inform you that the good days are coming after this terrible season.
“Manchester United Football Club is the only team in the world that has demonstrated in the past that it is capable of overcoming any circumstance or calamity.
“I want to apologize to my gamers as well; I always try to be honest with you, but occasionally I wasn’t fair. Many thanks, and I’ll see you next season.
