KLMRD Celebrating Football, Friendship, and Giving Back
This year's event was hosted by Kuala Lumpur Mancunian Red Devils (KLMRD) which
took place on 12th July 2025 at Sunway Resort Hotel.
Held under the theme 'United Unites, Together We Thrive', the event embodied the club's vision that 'United & Football is Above Everything Else.'
The night saw overwhelming support from attendees, fellow supporter clubs, and special guests. Among the special guests present were Persatuan Sindrom Down Malaysia (PSDM) president Hanizan Hussin, National hockey legend Dato' Mirnawan Nawawi and Celebrity Stand-up comedian Kavin J.
'Charity is part of United's DNA,' said Anderson Tan, KLMRD President. 'We make it a point to select a different NGO every year to support, and this year we were honoured to stand with PSDM.
'As long as there's a need, we'll be there – volunteering, contributing, and standing with our community.'
Seven deserving members were announced as recipients of an all-expense-paid trip to Old Trafford, the iconic home of Manchester United.
Four were chosen from a raffle draw, while the remaining three deserving members were chosen by the respective clubs itself. For some, this marks their first-ever visit to the Theatre of Dreams – a lifelong dream finally fulfilled.

Supreme Pogacar wins Tour de France for fourth time
PARIS: Tadej Pogacar closed out a supreme 21-day performance to win the Tour de France in Paris on Sunday, crushing his rivals in the 3,400km slog to rack up a fourth title. Wout van Aert won the final-day cliffhanger on the cobbled roads of Montmartre, but Pogacar was spared any late challenge when rain forced times to be neutralised to avoid potential accidents. Pogacar gamely tried for the stage win anyway before Belgian Van Aert pulled away from the Slovenian on the last climb. The winner was clearly enjoying himself as he played to the delighted crowds, racing to the head of the peloton near the Moulin Rouge cabaret at the foot of the climb. Despite the rain, spectators packed Montmartre to follow his progress up and down the narrow lanes of the popular tourist spot in his leader's yellow outfit. Van Aert produced a well-timed attack to drop Pogacar and charge to the Champs-Elysees finish line, for his second last-day stage win there. Pogacar was fourth on the day but after wins in 2020, 2021 and 2024, he proved untouchable again in the world's greatest bike race. Jonas Vingegaard, the Dane who won in 2022 and 2023, suffered two shocking off-days and ended second overall, 4min 24sec adrift. Breakout German star Florian Lipowitz took third on his debut, rounding out the podium a distant 11 minutes off the pace in third. Defending his title Pogacar, embarked from the start in Lille clear favourite and won four stages along the way. In the first week, he struck on rolling runs in the north and west at Rouen and the Mur de Bretagne. He then turned the screw on the slopes of the Pyrenees on week two with his rivals as good as vanquished. Vingegaard suffered on the stage five time trial, and again in week two at the Hautacam mountain, leaving the Dane in shock as his form abandoned him. In need of a massive turn around in the Alps to overturn a four-minute deficit, Vingegaard was game enough to go all in on stage 18, producing a brave 71km attack as Pogacar sat on his rival's wheel. A barnstorming first week of the Tour revealed a raft of emerging stars. Lipowitz was given a run for his money for third place by 22-year-old Scot Oscar Onley, whose steady ride propelled him to fourth overall. Ireland's Ben Healy bagged a stage win and a two-day stint in the yellow jersey. Adding a heroic near-miss on Mont Ventoux was enough to earn Healy the prize for combativity, voted for by the public. The return of Dave Brailsford from his role at Manchester United to Ineos Grenadiers was overshadowed by the team's Italian powerhouse Filippo Ganna falling early on stage one. He was withdrawn due to concussion. Having previously masterminded seven Tour de France wins, Brailsford dug in and the team's Dutch climber Thymen Arensman pulled off heists in the Pyrenees and the Alps with well-executed attacks to win two stages. Another Dutch rider, Mathieu van der Poel, lit up the first week, sealing a stage two win and twice wearing the yellow jersey. France's sole and unexpected stage win came on the lunar-like summit of Mont Ventoux thanks to Valentin Paret-Peintre. The 2025 Tour, however, will be remembered mainly for Pogacar's all-round dominance. - AFP

Soccer-Man Utd boss Amorim hails 'really important' Fernandes
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football - Friendly - Manchester United Training - Hong Kong Stadium, Hong Kong - May 29, 2025 Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes during training REUTERS/Tyrone Siu/File Photo (Reuters) -Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim heaped praise on captain Bruno Fernandes after the midfielder scored twice in a 2-1 pre-season win over fellow Premier League club West Ham United at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Saturday. Fernandes, who scored 19 goals and provided 19 assists in 57 appearances across all competitions for United last season and won the club's Player of the Year award, was linked with a move to Saudi Pro-League club Al Hilal earlier this year. However, the 30-year-old said last month that he had considered the move but ultimately turned it down to keep playing at the highest level. Asked about Fernandes' importance to the team, Amorim told reporters after the win: "It was so clear last season, you can see it with the goals and assists. But it's not just that. "I think now he has more players, I feel, to help him to lead the group, and that is a good thing. He is our leader and really important, not just on the field but off the field. He leads by example. "Sometimes, the problem is he gets frustrated and loses a little bit of focus of his job. Sometimes, he wants to help the teammates so much, it is not the best thing to do. They have to do their job, and Bruno has, for example, to wait for the ball." United have signed Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo so far in the transfer window, with Amorim saying the signings would take some of the pressure off Fernandes in attack. "Last year, I felt sometimes I pushed him back to have more possession in the build-up, and we miss Bruno near the box," Amorim added. "With different characteristics from Bryan (Mbeumo) and Matheus Cunha - and I really like Kobbie Mainoo's game - he (Fernandes) will have more help this season."

Bruno Fernandes leads Man Utd to 2-1 win over West Ham in US tour
BRUNO FERNANDES netted a brace as Manchester United began their US tour with a 2-1 victory over West Ham in the Premier League Summer Series on Saturday. The match, held at MetLife Stadium, saw United capitalise on errors by West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola to secure the win. Fernandes opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the fifth minute after Areola fouled Ayden Heaven. The Portuguese midfielder doubled United's lead in the 52nd minute, capitalising on a poor pass from Areola before chipping the ball over the stranded keeper. West Ham's Jarrod Bowen pulled one back in the 63rd minute with a composed finish, but United held firm despite late pressure. 'It's good to win, even being a friendly—we want to prepare in the best way for the season,' Fernandes told NBC Sports post-match. United's new signing Bryan Mbeumo, an $87 million acquisition, travelled with the squad but did not feature. He could make his debut against Bournemouth in Chicago on Wednesday. In the earlier game at the same venue, Bournemouth dominated Everton 3-0. Philip Billing, Dango Outtara, and Daniel Adu-Adjei scored for the Cherries, with Everton's defence struggling throughout - AFP
