ASEAN All-Stars vs Manchester United Lineups: What Is Confirmed

James Alfie Clarke Morgan • 2026-11-07 • Reviewed by Ethan Collins

Most friendlies are forgotten by the next morning, yet this one has people comparing lineups across half a dozen websites. The ASEAN All-Stars beat Manchester United 1-0 at Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur on 28 May 2025, according to Sofascore (live match data), but the reports that followed do not agree on every name.

Who starts for Manchester United against the ASEAN All-Stars?

The most complete eleven in the sources reviewed comes from The Daily Star (match report). It lists André Onana in goal; Reece Munro, Harry Maguire (captain) and Ayden Heaven; Diogo Dalot, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte and Patrick Dorgu; Jack Moorhouse and Kobbie Mainoo; and Rasmus Højlund up front.

Daily UK Post names the same eleven and says it is taken from the official manutd.com match report, according to Daily UK Post (online news site). That report was not retrieved for this review, so the eleven stays attributed to the outlets that published it.

Names reported in lineup snippets

  • Goalkeeper: André Onana (The Daily Star (match report))
  • Also in the Daily Star eleven: Reece Munro, Harry Maguire, Ayden Heaven, Diogo Dalot, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Patrick Dorgu, Jack Moorhouse, Kobbie Mainoo and Rasmus Højlund
  • Højlund is the lone striker in that list, with no second forward named

Players whose start is reported in only one source

  • Amad Diallo: Ireland Point (online news site) places him among half-time substitutes, and he is absent from the Daily Star eleven
  • Ayden Heaven: appears in both the Sports Mole forecast and the Daily Star eleven, so the forecast and the match report overlap on him

The implication: the Daily Star and Daily UK Post versions match on all eleven names, which makes them the strongest lineup on record. A forecast is not a team sheet, and the Diallo report shows why a single outlet is not enough.

Who is in the ASEAN All-Stars lineup?

No verified starting XI for the ASEAN All-Stars appears in the data reviewed. The closest material is the possible eleven in the Sports Mole (match preview), which lists Nadzli in goal, Joao Pedro as the forward and Maung Maung Lwin among the possible starters.

Antara News gives a different account, reporting that Maung Maung Lwin came on as a substitute. That report comes from Antara News (Indonesian news agency).

Named All-Stars players in the provided results

  • Maung Maung Lwin: scored the lone goal in the 71st minute (Goal.com (fixture listing))
  • Adrian Segecic: credited with the assist on that goal (FotMob (match data))
  • Malik Risaldi: Persebaya Surabaya forward called up to the squad (Antara News (Indonesian news agency))

Gaps in the All-Stars lineup data

  • No complete starting XI appears in the verified material
  • The 18-man roster is described as four players from Thailand, four from Vietnam, and two each from Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines, according to Sports Mole (match preview)
  • No organiser statement on how the squad was selected was retrieved
The catch

Sports Mole’s forecast and Antara’s report can both be accurate, since a player can be named in a preview and then come off the bench. The error is treating a preview list as the lineup of record.

The implication: anyone naming the All-Stars starters should wait for the match report rather than rely on the preview.

What was the final score?

The result is the best-confirmed detail in the material. Sofascore (live match data) records ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Manchester United with a 0-0 half-time score, and Livesport (Czech results service) gives the same 1-0 final.

Both previews backed Manchester United to win, and both got the winner wrong, which argues for caution with forecasts.

Forecast or record Predicted score Actual result
Sports Mole (match preview) Manchester United 0-6 win ASEAN All-Stars 1-0
Khelnow (online football preview) Manchester United 2-4 win ASEAN All-Stars 1-0
Sofascore (live match data) Not a forecast ASEAN All-Stars 1-0

Halftime score

  • 0-0 at half-time (Sofascore (live match data))
  • Second half 1-0 to the All-Stars (Livesport (Czech results service))

Reported full-time result and goal

  • Final: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Manchester United (Goal.com (fixture listing))
  • Goal: Maung Maung Lwin, 71st minute, assist credited to Adrian Segecic (FotMob (match data))
  • Detik Sport describes a through ball leading to the finish, according to Detik Sport (Indonesian match report)
Why this matters

Three data services agree on 1-0, and Detik Sport’s match report does too. The score is the one figure a reader can cite without a caveat, and the open questions sit around it, not in it.

The implication: publish the score with its source attached, and hold the detail about who came on and when until a match report settles it.

What were the match stats?

The verified material covers the scoreline, the goal minute, the kick-off time and the bench changes, and little beyond that. No possession, shot or discipline figures appear in the sources reviewed, so none are printed here.

The substitution record is the most detailed remaining data, and it conflicts between outlets.

Possession and shots

  • No possession figures appear in the verified data
  • No shot counts appear in the verified data
  • Figures should be published only after they appear in an established match report

Substitutions and discipline

  • BeSoccer (lineup data) lists Harry Amass, Tyler Fredricson, Bruno Fernandes and Tyler Fletcher among Manchester United substitutes, with changes at 46′ and 67′
  • Ireland Point (online news site) says Fernandes, Diallo and Garnacho came on at half-time, a timing that conflicts with BeSoccer’s record
  • A red card for Shea Lacey is also reported by Ireland Point, and the event data reviewed does not show it
What to watch

A red card would change the story of the match, so it should not run until a second established report confirms it. Right now it rests on one outlet with no supporting event record.

The trade-off: the BeSoccer timings can run with attribution, but the stats section stays thin until a full match report is published.

What is the ASEAN All-Stars team?

The ASEAN All-Stars is a selected side, not a club. Ireland Point (online news site) describes it as a regional XI, and Antara News (Indonesian news agency) names Kim Sang-sik as its head coach.

The make-up of the squad is set out in one preview, and no source reviewed explains how the players were chosen.

How the squad is assembled

  • Roster split by nation: four from Thailand, four from Vietnam, two each from Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines, according to Sports Mole (match preview)
  • Indonesian forward Malik Risaldi of Persebaya Surabaya was called up (Antara News (Indonesian news agency))
  • Selection basis: not stated in the sources reviewed, so confirm the wording with an organiser statement before publishing

Relation to the ASEAN Cup search term

  • No source reviewed connects the All-Stars to the ASEAN Cup
  • Khelnow (online football preview) says coach Kim Sang-sik recently led Vietnam to an ASEAN Champions triumph, a claim about the coach’s background rather than the All-Stars’ competition

The implication: the All-Stars label describes a selection process that readers cannot check from these sources, so any claim about how the team was built needs the organisers’ own words.

Match timeline

The sequence is short, and each step rests on at least one named outlet. Some earlier search snippets carry a 29 May 2025 date, but the match-data services that give a date, including Goal.com (fixture listing), place the match on 28 May.

  • : Sports Mole publishes its preview with predicted lineups (Sports Mole (match preview))
  • : Antara reports Malik Risaldi’s call-up (Antara News (Indonesian news agency))
  • : Kick-off (FotMob (match data))
  • Half-time: 0-0 (Sofascore (live match data))
  • 71st minute: Maung Maung Lwin scores (Goal.com (fixture listing))
  • Full-time: ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Manchester United (Sofascore (live match data))

The pattern: the date question comes from search snippets, not from the match data, which converges on 28 May.

Confirmed and unresolved

Four facts are settled across sources, and six points remain open. The open list is the longer one because the lineups and the tour framing still conflict.

Confirmed in multiple sources

  • ASEAN All-Stars 1-0 Manchester United (Sofascore (live match data), Goal.com (fixture listing), Livesport (Czech results service))
  • Played at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Kuala Lumpur (Sofascore (live match data))
  • Goal by Maung Maung Lwin in the 71st minute (FotMob (match data), Goal.com (fixture listing))
  • Half-time score of 0-0 (Sofascore (live match data))

Reported but still open

  • Manchester United eleven: named in the Daily Star and Daily UK Post versions, while the official report Daily UK Post cites was not retrieved (Daily UK Post (online news site))
  • Attendance of 72,550, reported by The Daily Star with no second outlet found (The Daily Star (match report))
  • Maung Maung Lwin’s role: a possible starter in the Sports Mole preview, but a substitute in the Antara report (Antara News (Indonesian news agency))
  • Bench timings: BeSoccer shows changes at 46′ and 67′, while Ireland Point has Fernandes, Diallo and Garnacho coming on at half-time (BeSoccer (lineup data), Ireland Point (online news site))
  • Red card for Shea Lacey: reported by Ireland Point and not corroborated in the event data reviewed (Ireland Point (online news site))
  • Match label: Goal.com lists a Club Friendlies Game Week 1 fixture, Sports Mole calls it one of two post-season friendlies, and Daily UK Post places it on a preseason tour (Goal.com (fixture listing), Sports Mole (match preview), Daily UK Post (online news site))

The implication: the settled list is short, so the lineup, label and bench questions should be resolved before any of them is presented as fact.

What the reporting says

Manchester United lost 1-0 to a Southeast Asian XI in Kuala Lumpur and were booed off the pitch.

The Daily Star (match report, paraphrased)

The fixture was the first of two post-season friendlies against the ASEAN All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur.

Sports Mole (match preview, paraphrased)

The implication: two outlets describe the same fixture but disagree on where it sits in the calendar, and that disagreement changes how the result should be framed.

Where the record stands

The score is settled, and the eleven names in The Daily Star report are the strongest lineup on record, but nearly everything around them is still in motion. For anyone sharing this match in a newsletter or on social media this week, the choice is clear: lead with the 1-0 score and attribute the eleven to The Daily Star, or hold the names until an official Manchester United or organiser report confirms them, since only that report would let readers check each name against the club’s own record.

Frequently asked questions

When was the ASEAN All-Stars vs Manchester United match played?

It was played on 28 May 2025 at 12:45 UTC, according to FotMob (match data), at Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. Some earlier search snippets carried a 29 May date, but the match-data services place it on 28 May.

Was the match a preseason friendly?

Sources disagree on the label. FotMob (match data) classifies it as a club friendly, Sports Mole (match preview) calls it one of two post-season friendlies, and Daily UK Post (online news site) places it on a preseason tour.

Has the result been officially confirmed?

Several data services agree on the 1-0 result, including Sofascore (live match data). An official Manchester United or organiser report was not retrieved for this review, so the result rests on match-data outlets.

Why do reports list different lineups?

Some lists are forecasts, such as the Sports Mole (match preview), while others describe the match-day eleven, such as The Daily Star (match report). Substitutions also change who played, so an early XI can differ from the final one.

Was there a red card in the match?

A red card for Shea Lacey is reported by Ireland Point (online news site), but the event data reviewed does not show it. Treat the claim as unconfirmed until a second established report confirms it.

What was the attendance?

According to The Daily Star (match report), 72,550 spectators attended. No second outlet in this review confirms the figure.
