KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Malaysia is considering boosting its
national squad with players from Saudi Arabia for a friendly
match against English champions Manchester United on July 22.

Ibrahim Saad, head of Malaysia's national team delegation, was

Saudi players could improve the side.

The Saudis will be in south east Asia for games against

season tour of south east Asia. It is also due to play games in
Singapore on July 24 and Bangkok on July 29.
