I am pleased to be able to share our partnership with Malaysia Airlines with those fans and introduce them to the best-in-class service they provide. Wes and I travelled here on Malaysia Airlines and would like to thank them for their comfortable journey. Everything was perfect, from the food to the comfortable seats and friendly service," said Patrice Evra.

Malaysia Airlines is a true representation of Malaysia's friendly culture, and I cannot wait to work with them and engage with our fantastic supporters," said Wes Brown. Also speaking at the event was Manchester United's CEO of Alliances and Partnerships, Victoria Timpson, who said: "Manchester United has a long-standing and proud connection with Malaysia with a history of passionate support from across the country.
