Ruben Amorim 's side endured one of the worst United seasons in living memory.
The club ended the campaign with no silverware and languishing 15th in the Prem.
With a summer overhaul of the squad expected, certain members of the touring party didn't appear delighted to be 6,000-miles from home.
According to The Athletic, both Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen refused to go on the tour.
The report claims United "originally tried to make [the pair] join the travelling party".
But due to family commitments, they were eventually allowed to stay at home.
Lindelof's wife Maja is currently heavily pregnant with the pair's third child.
She remained in Sweden for the recent Europa League final, with Lindelof joining her once the season ended.
Eriksen stayed to tie the knot with long-time partner Sabrina Kvist Jensen.
The Danish midfielder wed his girlfriend of almost 15 years at Odense City Hall last Wednesday.
Both players are contracted with United until June 30.
'Players are not acting in the right manner' - David Beckham slams Man Utd stars' behaviour after fans clashes on tour
They will become free agents next month with no new deal on the table.
United's tour has proved to be a shambles both on and off the field.
Amorim's men fell to an embarrassing 1-0 defeat to an ASEAN All Star XI in Kuala Lumpur.
While Alejandro Garnacho and Amad Diallo were slammed for giving the middle finger to fans in viral videos.
Club icon David Beckham was among those to call out the behaviour of the players.
He blasted: 'I've seen a lot of things where players are not acting in the right manner.
'A lot of things that are not OK in my eyes as a fan and lover of Manchester United.
'We were part of a team that was so well-mannered.
"We understood what it meant to play for Manchester United. We understood what the badge meant.
"Wherever we travelled, whether in Europe or Asia, we respected the fans."

Viktor Gyokeres sends message to Sporting after Man Utd handed new asking price
Viktor Gyokeres is 'furious' with Sporting CP after the Portuguese giants made the decision not to sell him for a reduced fee this summer. Gyokeres, 26, emerged as one of Europe' most prolific centre forwards last season, finishing the campaign with 52 goals in 54 appearances. It followed a thrilling first campaign in Portugal where he netted 43 in 50 appearances under current Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim. The Sweden international fired Sporting to a league and cup double in May and has remained coy on his future, even failing to rule out the possibility of another season at Lisbon. But privately, Gyokeres has fully expected to be sold by the club this summer. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. The former Coventry City star has a release clause of €100million. But last year, in return for him staying on for another season, Sporting agreed to sell him this summer for a fee below that clause. It was agreed if Sporting received an offer of at least €60m with a further €10m in add-ons, they would not stand in his way. Record report however Sporting president Frederico Varandas has decided not to honour that agreement. While the Portuguese champions are still waiting for official bids, clubs who have made enquiries have been told it will cost at least €80m to do business. Arsenal and Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing Gyokeres having seemingly turned their attention elsewhere in recent weeks. Manchester United are also interested in signing him this summer but would likely need to raise further cash this summer to move forward with a bid with O Jogo reporting there still have been no official approach from Amorim's side. The situation has left Gyokeres 'furious', feeling the club have gone back on their word and abandoned promises made to him last summer. More Trending The striker has also removed references to Sporting from his Instagram account – although he also appears to have removed mentions of sponsor Nike and the Sweden national team. Gyokeres is a bunch of different strikers blended into one. He's a bulldozer, but he's also got that turn of pace and knack of finding himself in shooting areas. Some strikers, you can see they overthink things, but he'll shoot first and ask questions later. At 6ft 2in, he could definitely add an aerial presence to his game to take himself to the next level, but he's very good at using his chest as a magnet to win these aerial duels. He may not be as fearless as others when it comes to aerial duels, but he knows how to use his strengths to his advantage to hold up the ball and bring others into play. He's not someone like Roberto Firmino who is going to be dropping deep, so if Arsenal need to change certain things to get the best out of Gyokeres then they should. Zach Lowy, European football expert With Chelsea signing Liam Delap and Arsenal focusing on Benjamin Sesko, Gyokeres' options in the Premier League may have narrowed to United. The player has also turned down what would be a hugely lucrative move to Saudi Arabia. United have no European football on offer this season but that did not prevent them from signing Matheus Cunha from Wolved. Bryan Mbeumo has also favoured a move to Old Trafford ahead of Arsenal and Newcastle with United expected to make a second bid for the Brentford star soon.

Arsenal move for Benjamin Sesko ‘hijacked by Saudi big-spenders Al-Hilal and they want deal to happen TODAY'
ARSENAL could see their move for Benjamin Sesko sensationally hijacked by Al-Hilal - who want to sign the striker TODAY. The Gunners have made 6ft 5in Sesko their No1 target in the summer transfer window and last week approached RB Leipzig for talks. 3 But the North Londoners - who have been told the Slovenian frontman will cost close to £70million - are yet to make an opening bid. Meanwhile, Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal are ready to turn their attention to the forward after missing out on Victor Osimhen. And according to Sky Sports, they could make their move today to try and sign Sesko before the deadline to have him at the Club World Cup. The expanded 32-team tournament kicks off on Sunday but players must be registered by 7pm TONIGHT. It would come as a huge blow to Arsenal, who have led the race to sign Sesko over the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United. Al-Hilal looked set to sign ex-Napoli star Osimhen - who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray. But the Nigerian international - who helped Galatasaray win the league - rejected a stunning £650,000-a-week deal from the Saudi champions. Galatasaray are now believed to be favourites to sign Osimhen - who scored 26 goals in 30 league matches on loan. 3 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Sesko meanwhile finished his campaign with 21 goals in 45 matches to catch the attention of Europe's elite. And he topped Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta's summer shopping list as the Spaniard looks to recruit a new No9. But Al-Hilal's deep pockets and desperate bid to take a striker to the Club World Cup marks huge competition for Arteta's Gunners.

Erik ten Hag tried to STOP £86m Antony transfer - former Man United boss' agent reveals what REALLY happened during club's disastrous deal
A sensational new report has now claimed that former Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag tried to block the signing of Antony, rather than endorse it. The new Bayer Leverkusen boss is widely reported to have been a key figure in the £86million acquisition of the Brazil forward back in 2022, when United welcomed Ten Hag to the dugout. He was not the only player to make the move from Ajax, joining Argentina centre back Lisandro Martinez in joining United, with Tyrell Malacia (Feyenoord), Cristian Eriksen (free) and Casemiro (Real Madrid) also signing on. However, the move has hardly gone as planned, with Antony yet to deliver on the huge outlay splashed on his services, and was recently sent out on loan to Real Betis after struggling to break into Ruben Amorim 's set up. As such, it had appeared to reflect badly on Ten Hag given the claims that he had been a key part of the signing, yet the co-founder of the manager's agency, has claimed in a new book that they tried to block the move. 'Ten Hag and Vos were not in favour of this and wanted to stop the transfer,' writes Kees Vos of the Antony transfer in the book, Liverpool and the Dutch. 'But the club wanted to push through at all costs, because Arsenal was also interested in Antony. 'The risk of a stronger competitor would be great. Ultimately, Manchester United paid almost 100 million euros for Antony. 'Although Ten Hag did not support this transfer, it stuck with him throughout his entire time in Manchester that he took over the attacker from Ajax for this ill-fated amount, who was never able to fulfil his promise.' Antony's stint at Old Trafford has thus far been far from inspiring, with just 12 goals and five assists in 96 games for the Red Devils. Yet a brief sojourn in Seville in the second half of the season seems to have reinvigorated the player, who came up with 14 contributions in 26 appearances - just five shy of his entire United tally in nearly a quarter of the time. However that could come to help United this summer as they look to move him on, and an upturn in form may at least have reminded potential suitors that there is at least a talented attacker still in Antony. Rene Meulensteen, who worked under Ferguson between 2007 and 2013, has ripped into wingers Antony and Alejandro Garnacho, insisting they must be the first to go. Incredibly, Meulensteen also brutally labelled Antony, who spent the six months of the season on loan at Real Betis, 'selfish' while declaring Garnacho is 'bad' for United. He also claimed Ajax were 'doing cartwheels' after agreeing to sell Antony for a whopping £80million in August 2022 - with United now braced for a significant loss. 'I wouldn't bring Antony back because I've seen enough of him that he's not cut out for the club and not good enough,' Meulensteen told Tipman Tips. 'His performances are fuelled by his personality and are not for the good of the team, he's selfish. 'You will never get your £80m back from Antony. I thought it was stupid business at the time when I heard it was happening. 'I know that when they heard about the deal in Amsterdam, they were doing cartwheels. It shows again that players in those lower leagues, like Holland, are completely different. They're playing very different styles, a slower tempo. 'Teams like Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord are the best, so it's easy for them to look good. 'But coming into the Premier League is so much different. What is Antony's return? How many goals and assists has he got? He's probably got as many, if not more, in Spain than in England, that different kind of football is more ideal for him.'
