"Hopefully not relegated" – Anwar teases Man United
KUALA LUMPUR: "Hopefully you won't get relegated to the Championship," Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim quipped, reacting to Manchester United's latest embarrassment — a 1-0 defeat to the Asean All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur. Anwar, a long-time fan of the struggling Premier League giants, didn't hold back his disappointment after the post-season friendly. "Oh dear! Manchester United have failed to win a trophy again," he said in a Facebook post today. "You're going to have a headache next season too." The Asean All-Stars stunned fans at Bukit Jalil National Stadium with a composed performance, netting the only goal of the match. They played with discipline and composure, securing a well-deserved victory. Lamphun Warriors Burmese winger Maung Maung Lwin netted the winner in the 71st minute for the Asean All-Stars. He beat the offside trap before firing into the top corner past Tom Heaton. The result adds further pressure on United, who have already faced criticism for an underwhelming Premier League campaign. Still, Anwar had praise for the victors. "Congratulations to the Asean All Stars, you lot really are the best," he said, applauding the regional squad's spirited display. His remarks, though partly in jest, reflect growing unease among Manchester United fans worldwide as the club looks to rebuild ahead of next season.
