What is the score of the Asean vs Manchester United game?
Final score: 1-0 to ASEAN All-Stars
The ASEAN All-Stars defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the Maybank Challenge Cup friendly at Bukit Jalil National Stadium on 28 May 2025 (Manchester United official match report). The result was described by ESPN as a ‘stunning win’ and a ‘shock 1-0 win’ – the only goal came in the 71st minute.
The implication: A regional selection side defeating a European giant sends a clear signal about the growing depth of Southeast Asian football, even in a pre-season context.
Who scored for ASEAN All Star vs Manchester United?
Maung Maung Lwin scored the decisive goal
The match-winner was Myanmar forward Maung Maung Lwin, who found the net in the 71st minute (Manchester United match report). The official club report uses “Muang Maung Lwin”, while the club’s video recap refers to “Wang Maung Lwin” – a transcription variation for the same player (Manchester United YouTube). ESPN awarded him Man of the Match.
Maung Maung Lwin’s goal may be the most significant moment of his international career, putting his name alongside the few Southeast Asian players who have scored against Manchester United in a competitive fixture.
Why are Man Utd going to Malaysia?
Part of pre-season tour
Manchester United traveled to Malaysia for a pre-season friendly as part of their 2025 summer preparations. It was the club’s first visit to the country since 2009 (Manchester United).
Maybank Challenge Cup sponsorship
The match was the headline event of the Maybank Challenge Cup, a sponsored exhibition fixture. SofaScore lists the competition as “Club Friendly Games” (SofaScore).
The catch: While advertised as part of a tour, the single-game format against a selection team rather than a regular club suggests the fixture was primarily a marketing and brand-building exercise for United in the ASEAN market.
Who are ASEAN All-Stars?
Selection of top Southeast Asian players
ASEAN All-Stars is an invitational team composed of players from the ten ASEAN member nations, formed specifically for exhibition matches against top European clubs (ESPN). It is not a regular club; the squad is assembled for each fixture.
History of the All-Stars team
Previous editions have faced clubs like Barcelona and Juventus, but the 2025 win over Manchester United marks the first time the regional selection has beaten a European powerhouse.
What this means: The ASEAN All-Stars’ victory adds a new chapter to the concept of regional all-star teams in football – historically rare against elite European opposition.
