Nightmare tour
It comes amid a difficult tour for the Red Devils.
After producing the club's worst-ever Premier League campaign and losing the Europa League final, Amorim's side suffered the ignominy of losing a friendly 1-0 to ASEAN All-Stars, a team made up of players from Southeast Asian leagues such as Malaysia and Thailand.
Before the game, Man Utd flops were seen touring the streets of Kuala Lumpur on an open-top bus parade.
And despite their latest flop on the pitch, fans were still desperate to catch a glimpse of the Red Devils before they left for the next leg of the tour in Hong Kong.
After losing to ASEAN All-Stars in front of 70,000 people, Amorim once again slammed his team, saying: "Yes, a disappointing result, but no injuries and a tough pitch.
"We don’t have it in us not to choke in every exercise, in every game, that is what happened.
"We should win these kind of games, no matter what. We need to bring that inside of us in every game.
"The important thing is no injuries with this weather and to arrive here in this day. It is not an excuse, we should perform better."
Amorim went on to praise the club's youngsters, saying: "I liked the young kids, they try. That’s enough for me in the moment.
