Manchester united to Malaysia?

EVEN as efforts intensify to salvage the Manchester United match against a Malaysian Selection on July 27, the newly-crowned English Premier League champions are shocked that they have been asked to stay away from Kuala Lumpur, a place they consider "a second home."

"We are extremely sad and disappointed to hear that we are not welcomed. Malaysia is our second home. We played there in 1995, 1999 and 2001 — more then anywhere else in Asia.

"We are proud to come and celebrate (Malaysia’s) 50 Years of Independence and it’s a once in a life-time celebration," said United CEO, David Gill.
