They want Man Utd in KL
THE big bosses of both sides are for it. It’s now up to football authorities to work it out and make the much-awaited match a reality.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi wants Manchester United’s tour to Malaysia to kick off as scheduled.
“If United plays in KL, it will attract supporters from Singapore, Thailand and other countries to come and watch. This is also the government’s intention in line with Visit Malaysia 2007 campaign,” he said.
In a quick response, the EPL champions’ manager Sir Alex Ferguson said he remained hopeful for a deal to be struck to play a friendly with a Malaysian selection, despite opposition from the Asian Football Confederation.
“We have made arrangements for that. But if there is a dramatic change we will have to rearrange our schedule,” he said.
