18 julai is the date for all the Malaysian fans to watch the highly awaited game of the season. red devils coming to kuala lumpur in their asia tour to round off an early disappointment when their tour in 2007 had been pulled off because Malaysia at that time was hosted the 2007 Asia cup and AFC didn't gave the permission for man united to played against the national team because it was distracted the AFC Cup.

so man united came again and after 7 years of absentees. bringing their full squad except the likes of vidic (injured), carrick (unseen in the match) and 2 new signings antonio valencia and michael oberteen. but michael owen make the trip wearing number 7.
