Manchester United play the first of two post-season friendlies against the ASEAN All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
A capacity crowd is expected at the 87,500-seater Bukit Jalil National Stadium for the visit of the Red Devils in this Maybank Challenge Cup clash, where all the proceeds will go to charity.

Just hours after winning their final Premier League game of the season against Aston Villa on Sunday, Man United were hopping straight on a plane here to South-East Asia ahead of two friendlies, with a fixture against Hong Kong also coming up on Friday.
Ruben Amorim's men will not get to have a break just yet, with two friendlies on the horizon ahead of an international break for some, after which the squad will get around a month away before returning for preseason.
Early into preseason, a friendly with newly-promoted rivals Leeds United awaits in mid-July, before United will jet off to the USA for the Premier League Summer Series.
Amorim will hope to have much of the groundwork in place by that point as the club looks to recover from a disastrous season both on and off the pitch, resulting in a 15th-placed finish and defeat in the Europa League final.
The Man United manager apologised to the Old Trafford crowd post-match on Sunday, and vowed to improve things next season, but there is set to be a huge overhaul in the playing squad, compared to the side that will travel to Asia this week.
United's first opponents are a South-East Asian All-Star XI, who were initially formed in 2014 to play a charity match in aid of the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, losing 1-0 to Indonesia.
This time around, the squad includes some Indonesian players, with the country being the strongest in the region internationally, while they will be led by South Korean coach Kim Sang-sik.
Indonesia are in World Cup qualifying action next week, and are still in with a great chance of reaching the finals next summer, showcasing how much the footballing infrastructure has improved in the country, but none of their key players will be involved in this friendly.

Amorim has brought a strong squad with him on this brief tour to Asia, including many of the players who will be on international duty next week.
Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot will be present before joining up with the Portugal squad, while Manuel Ugarte has a lot of travelling ahead of him before representing Uruguay.
One surprise inclusion is that of Alejandro Garnacho, who was left out of the squad on Sunday and voiced his displeasure towards Amorim for only giving him the final 20 minutes off the bench in the Europa League final, with an exit expected this summer.
For the All-Stars, their 18-man roster includes four players from Thailand, four from Vietnam, and two from Cambodia, Indonesia and the Philippines, while there is also representation for Laos, East-Timor, Malaysia and Singapore.
There are no members from the 2014 squad present in this version, with Brunei being the only country in the region not represented.
ASEAN All-Stars possible starting lineup:
Nadzli; Fandi, Ferrari, Do Duy Manh, Nguyen Van Vi, Aguinaldo; Nguyen Hoang Duc, Reyes, Kanitsribampen, Maung Maung Lwin; Joao Pedro
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
Bayindir; Fredricson, Evans, Heaven; Dalot, Collyer, Mainoo, Amass; Amad, Obi, Fernandes
We say: ASEAN All-Stars 0-6 Manchester United
The two sets of players are lightyears apart in terms of quality and a thrashing is in store for the All-Stars, even though it is only a post-season friendly that could see plenty of rotation from Amorim.
