RUBEN AMORIM has blasted his Manchester United flops once again by saying they “choke in every game”.
The Red Devils suffered an embarrassing 1-0 defeat to the ASEAN All-Stars in a post-season friendly today.

Amorim named a strong starting XI that featured the likes of Andre Onana, Harry Maguire, Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund before making 11 changes at half-time.
But United were beaten in front of a 70,000 crowd in Malaysia as Myanmar international Maung Maung Lwin netted the winner.
After the final whistle, Amorim said: “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.
“They want to play more but we have to rotate everybody to play. They did well.”
In his post-match press conference, Amorim continued: “We need to win every game, every exercise. It’s something we need to push for the players.
“But the way I play is the same as other coaches. You have an idea and stick with your ideas. You can change something but I’m just one more coach who reached this level by believing in certain things.
“We will, of course, need to improve but I’m really confident.
“I feel always guilty. I said that in the last game. I’m always guilty of the performance of the team. No matter what. Since I’m here for the first day, I am guilty.”
