Handout/PFF-PMNFT</div>MANILA -- National team standouts Sandro Reyes and Amani Aguinaldo will represent the Philippines when the ASEAN All-Stars play Premier League club Manchester United on May 28 in Malaysia.The two players were selected by ASEAN Champion head coach Kim Sang-sik after their performances for the Philippine men&#x27;s national team in recent months.&quot;It&#x27;s a big honor for me,&quot; said the 22-year-old Reyes, who plays his club football for Gutersloh in Germany. &quot;But first I have to thank the entire team and staff, as I&#x27;m not able to perform without all of them.&quot;&quot;So each person deserves this as much as I do. It&#x27;s the culmination of a lot of hard work not just this whole season, but over the last year, too,&quot; he added.&quot;To be able to end the season in a fun game like this feels like a nice reward.&quot;&quot;I&#x27;m happy and grateful to be selected and to be given such a great opportunity,&quot; said Aguinaldo, for his part.Aguinaldo is coming off a campaign with Rayong in Thailand.Both Reyes and Aguinaldo had played crucial roles in the Philippines&#x27; campaign in the ASEAN Championship in late 2024, where they returned to the semifinals after six years. There, they also recorded a famous win over Thailand -- a first in five decades.The match against <a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-travelling-squad-for-asia-hong-kong-china-malaysia">Manchester United</a> is part of the Premier League side&#x27;s Asian tour. The Reds are also playing Hong Kong, with Ruben Amorim having called up 32 players for the post-season friendlies.&quot;Even though it&#x27;s just a friendly, it&#x27;s still Manchester United,&quot; said Reyes.&quot;I hope it could inspire a lot of kids in the country to see that it&#x27;s possible to have success in this sport and be on the same field as the best players in the world, even if we come from a non-football country,&quot; he added.After the friendly, Reyes and Aguinaldo will return to the Philippines to continue their build-up for an Asian Cup qualifier against Tajikistan, scheduled for June 10 at the New Clark City Stadium.
