Asean All-Stars assemble! Harimau Malaya's Aguero leads the charge against Man United on May 28
The Sri Pahang FC forward said the opportunity to represent Malaysia on such a prominent stage, even in an exhibition match, is a great honour and a proud moment for him.
'It's an incredible honour to be selected for such a historic match. Playing against one of the biggest clubs in the world, alongside some of the best players from this region, is truly a dream come true.
'What makes it even more special is the chance to represent Malaysia at this stage, carrying the flag in front of our home fans means everything to me,' said the 31-year-old Argentine-born in a statement.
The match against United is set to take place at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil, here.
Besides Aguero, four other national players selected are Terengganu FC defender Muhammad Azam Azmi Murad, Penang FC winger Muhammad Adib Abdul Ra'op, Perak FC goalkeeper Muhammad Haziq Nazdli and Kuala Lumpur City FC defender Declan Lambert.
The last time The Red Devils played in Malaysia was during their 2009 pre-season tour, beating Malaysia XI twice, 3-2 and 2-0, respectively on July 18 and 20 at the National Stadium.
The 13-time EPL champions are also scheduled to travel to Hong Kong as part of their pre-season tour to play against the Hong Kong national team on May 30.
Meanwhile, according to the statement, the organisers have informed that ticket sales have been brisk with several categories already sold out.
Fans are urged to secure their seats now via the official ticketing platform at www.myticketempire.com/manumy. — Bernama

Manchester United sign forward Benjamin Sesko
Benjamin Sesko's arrival from RB Leipzig completes an overhaul of the Red Devils' attack. (EPA Images pic) LONDON : Manchester United signed Slovenian international Benjamin Sesko torday, the third forward the 20-time English champions have acquired in the close season. The 22-year-old's arrival from RB Leipzig, in a deal reported to be worth up to £74 million, completes an overhaul of the Red Devils' attack that failed to fire last season. 'Manchester United is pleased to confirm that Benjamin Sesko has joined the club, subject to registration,' read a club statement. The five-year contract includes a guaranteed payment of £66.3million, with the remainder in add-ons, according to reports. Sesko, who has scored 16 goals in 41 international appearances, is United's third major signing in attack following the arrivals of Matheus Cunha for £62.5m and Bryan Mbeumo for £65m with £6m in add-ons. 'The history of Manchester United is obviously very special but what really excites me is the future,' said Sesko. 'When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon.' Sesko had also been linked with Newcastle, but once again Eddie Howe's League Cup winners failed to land their target despite being able to offer European football this season, unlike Manchester United. Sesko, though, said he felt a vibrancy round the club as they seek to rebound from a desperately disappointing 2024-2025 campaign. 'From the moment that I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and family environment that the club has created,' he said. 'It is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and fulfil all of my ambitions. 'I cannot wait to start learning from Ruben (Amorim) and connecting with my teammates to achieve the success that we all know we are capable of together.'

Ipoh-born squash prodigy Jinoreeka Ning bags third Hong Kong Junior Open title, eyes British Junior Open next
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — Ipoh-born junior squash star Jinoreeka Ning Manivannan won her third Hong Kong Junior Open title yesterday, earning herself a sweet birthday gift as she turns 15 on August 21. This time, she wrested the girls' Under-17 title from Hong Kong's top seed Elaine Chung Yee Ling after a tightly-fought match 11-8, 6-11, 11-2, 8-11, 12-10. The Form Three student at Ipoh's Methodist Girls' School won the title for the first time in 2022 (Under-13) and again last year (Under-15). Jinoreeka managed to pull the feat for the third time on Sunday despite having a high fever for the last three days, her father Manivannan Ramasamy said. As she has no formal coach in Malaysia, Jinoreeka sticks to a training programme designed by Egypt's squash legend Omar Abdel Aziz, following in the footsteps of her squash idol — World No. 3 Hania El Hammamy. Since 2023, Jinoreeka has trained in person with Omar in Cairo only eight times, with each trip costing around RM30,000. She also follows Omar's fitness training sessions, held online four times a week. On weekends, her parents drive down to The Lakeview Club in Subang Jaya for her sparring sessions with other local squash talents. Jinoreeka has been on a winning streak this year, after clinching the Under-15 title at the Asian Junior Championships in South Korea and the Under-17 title at the Penang Junior Open last month. She has set her sights on the 2026 British Junior Open title next and hopes to make her dream debut of representing Malaysia in the 2027 World Junior Squash Championships.

Not every athlete makes it and that's okay because it's part of the story too
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — In a small corner of the Youth and Sports Ministry, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee from the Bike And Bean café greets visitors, yet behind the pleasant scent lies the story of former cycling hero Mohamad Firdaus Mohd Zonis, once hailed as a great hope in Malaysia's track cycling arena. His name began to make waves among local sports fans in 2014 when he delivered a bronze medal at the World Junior Track Cycling Championships, an achievement that established him as one of the nation's most promising prospects. That triumph at a young age made him the first Malaysian since Adiq Husainie (2008) to step onto the podium in the men's 1-kilometre time trial, earning him a place among the successors to national cycling legend Datuk Azizulhasni Awang. The achievement was further cemented by the national junior record in the 200-metre sprint, which still stands to this day, a silent testament to his prowess on the track. However, behind the cheers and podium finishes lay a story seldom told — the physical exhaustion, mental pressure, and injuries that gradually eroded his fighting spirit. 'Moving up to the senior level, the training got heavier. I felt I wasn't good enough even though I gave my best. Small recurring injuries eventually became a big burden,' said Firdaus, recalling the period when his passion began to fade. Everything came to a head when he was diagnosed with L4 and L5 slip disc injuries, forcing him to make the painful decision to end a career he had dreamed of since childhood far earlier than expected. Although he once sank into disappointment, Firdaus found his own way to rise again after hanging up his bike — by shifting his path to bicycle repairs. For Firdaus, success does not necessarily come in the form of medals hanging around the neck, but in the ability to get back up, find life's meaning after sport, and most importantly, heal oneself. 'I hope there will be more awareness about burnout among young athletes, so they know they are not alone and that there is support if they need it,' he said. Firdaus' experience is not an isolated case, as former national junior tennis player Wan Abdul Muiz Wan Aziz went through a similar phase. Once ranked sixth in Malaysia at the age of 16, Wan Abdul Muiz admitted that early success came with extraordinary pressure. The Kelantan-born athlete, who started playing tennis at the age of 10, was once considered one of the country's brightest talents, but the glitter came at a heavy price. 'People think kids just enjoy playing. But the pressure from coaches, parents, or even oneself is very heavy. 'At one point I felt lazy to train and started to question what all this meant,' he said. Training for eight to 10 hours a day while juggling academic responsibilities and high expectations caused Muiz to lose interest in the sport he once loved. What made it worse was that requests for help were often met with stigma. 'Our culture sometimes assumes that if you can't take it, you're weak. Mental health support for young athletes is very limited. Many don't understand the emotional burden we carry,' he said. The stories of Firdaus and Muiz are a reminder that behind the roaring cheers lies the silent side of sports — a challenge that demands more than just physical strength, but also resilience of the heart and mental well-being. — Bernama
