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.

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."

Transfer news live: Man Utd make Gyokeres contact, Reijnders completes medical, Sesko close to Arsenal move

The transfer window is open two more days between 1 June and 10 June to enable transfers to be made ahead of the summer's Club World Cup. Manchester United have already secured Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m, and are negotiating with Brentford over Bryan Mbeumo with Viktor Gyokeres also on the list of wanted strikers. Captain Bruno Fernandes also provided a boost by turning down a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia. Manchester City, meanwhile, have agreed a fee to sign AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders who has completed a medical and looks set to join Pep Guardiola's side. Arsenal, meanwhile, hope to bring in Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Arteta has sanctioned talks with RB Leipzig over striker Benjamin Sesko in their ongoing pursuit for a No 9.

Spurs' reported pursuit of Bees' manager Thomas Frank has wobbled United's position as favourites to land the Cameroonian. Brentford still hope to keep hold of the 25-year-old. And it's thought United have already made two offers, including £50m plus £10m add-ons. But the Bees ideally want at least another £10m.
