The Prime Minister of Malaysia has put the boot in Manchester United by suggesting that they could be banned next season, after they had seen the Fallen Premier League giants in Kuala Lumpur express.
The demoralized side of Ruben Amorim suffered a embarrassing 1-0 friendly defeat on Wednesday against a Southeast Asian XI for more than 70,000 in the Malaysian capital on Wednesday.
That was after United had ended a low 15th in the competition and failed to lift a trophy, one of their poorest seasons in recent memory.
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was in the crowd in Bukit Jalil National Stadium and could not resist excavation afterwards.
“Oh no! Manchester United has not won another trophy. It seems that you have a 'headache' next season,” Anwar wrote on Facebook.
“Hopefully you will not be banned to the championship,” he added, referring to the second level of England.
Amorim's side game the Hong Kong team on Friday in their second and final game of their Asian tour after the season.
The game in the 40,000 capacity Hong Kong Stadium still had to be sold out on the eve of the friendly.
