Manchester United are set to embark on a post-season tour to Malaysia and Hong Kong immediately after the Premier League concludes in May.
The Red Devils will play two friendly matches in the region, though their opponents are yet to be confirmed.
Following the trend of Premier League clubs playing overseas after the domestic season, United’s decision mirrors Tottenham and Newcastle’s trip to Australia last year—a move that sparked debate over player workload.
With the introduction of FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup and UEFA’s revamped Champions League, fixture congestion remains a major concern, leading to the scrapping of FA Cup replays.
Despite generating significant revenue through commercial deals, matchdays, and broadcasting rights, United have recorded losses exceeding £300 million over the past five years.
This week, the club announced a second wave of redundancies, potentially affecting up to 200 staff members.
Head coach Ruben Amorim recently acknowledged the role of the first-team squad in boosting revenue, reinforcing the club’s global appeal.
United are also expected to return to the United States in July for the Premier League’s pre-season tournament after the Club World Cup.
While their post-season trip is yet to be officially finalized, United have a strong following in Malaysia, where Malaysia Airlines serves as their official commercial airline partner.
This will be their first visit to Malaysia since 2009 and their first trip to Hong Kong since 2013.
