Manchester United In Malaysia

 For those non-football fanatics, do you know that the great football team, Manchester United has come to Asia for the Asia Tour 2009 to play against China, Korea, Indonesia and our country, Malaysia.

Every Manchester United fan in Malaysia jumped off their seats and went nuts when Manchester United first announced their arrival at the beginning of the year. They announced that the game between Manchester United and Malaysia would be at 18th July at Stadium Bukit Jalil.

Unfortunately, my SPM is coming, so I cant travel to KL and catch this match. If this match is after my exams, i would definitely go. Well, luckily Astro broadcasted the match and i still get to watch it.

 Don’t believe me that Malaysian Man U fans are that nuts?

 

Stadium Bukit Jalil with a capacity crowd of 80+thousand Malaysians. It’s even more than an average English Premier League match in England.

  The official starting list for the game. I bet tons of people are going to pay big money to buy this list as a memorabilia if this goes on sale.   

 SURPRISINGLY, THE SCORELINE IS

MANCHESTER UNITED 3 – 2 MALAYSIA

Here are some photos from the match:
