United are in town for the Maybank Challenge Cup as they take on the Asean All-Stars at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Wednesday (May 28)
At the W Hotel, the English giants were greeted by around 200 cheering fans who waited for the team's arrival for several hours.
Fans roared when the players stepped off the bright red bus with the club's logo, and the cheers kept going and players waved to fans as they walked past the hotel lobby.
Despite United’s 15th place finish in the league, the support the club got was limitless as supporters cheered on the players.
Among the notable faces were Bruno Fernandes, Dutch internationals Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee, along with fullback Diogo Dalot.
Led by head coach Ruben Amorim, United departed for Malaysia after their final premier league match against Aston Villa, where they won 2-0.
Although they did not play against Villa, Andre Onana, Luke Shaw, and Alejandro Garnacho are in town as well.
United last visited Malaysia in 2009 when they played two friendly matches against Malaysia XI.
After playing in Kuala Lumpur, the club will continue their post-season tour in Hong Kong on May 30.
Meanwhile, the Asean All-Stars will be without Peeradol Chamrasamee and Asnawi Mangkualam.
Peeradol withdrew due to the recent birth of his child, while Asnawi has been called up to the Indonesian national team.
