KUALA LUMPUR: Ruben Amorim and Co may have faced boos from the stands at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil, but the Manchester United manager is sticking to his footballing philosophy — even after his side’s 1-0 defeat to the spirited Asean All-Stars on Wednesday.

The Portuguese tactician, who took over the Red Devils on Nov 1, 2024, admitted his side lacked sharpness and urgency in the friendly encounter, but insisted that he would continue trusting the playing principles that got him this far in his career.
