Team news for ASEAN All-Stars friend
The Kuala Lumpur clash is live on MUTV, kicking off at 13:45 BST, and there is a wealth of experience available to the boss to choose from.
The 32-man squad that travelled includes most of the senior players, led by captain Bruno Fernandes, bolstered by the inclusion of some of the club's exciting youngsters.
Speaking at a press conference to preview the match, Ruben admitted it was his duty to ensure his team performs at the vast Bukit Jalil Stadium.
"First of all, every game we play, we have a big responsibility because all our fans are watching," said Amorim. "We want to respect all of this kindness, so we want to have a good performance.
"We have a lot to do, like you saw this season. We have to improve the team. We have almost all the squad here, some of the squad have an injury - like Noussair Mazraoui on Sunday [in the 2-0 win over Aston Villa].
"But the rest are here. We also have young kids, who have to understand what it means to play for Manchester United. It's an important moment for us to play the game."
With Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof excluded for personal reasons, ahead of their departures at the end of their contracts, and both Lisandro Martinez and Leny Yoro out due to injury, there are likely to be opportunities for some of the Academy fledglings.
Dan Armer, Tyler Fredricson, Godwill Kukonki and Reece Munro are all options to play in defence, and can follow the example set by 18-year-old Ayden Heaven, who has adapted well, despite his inexperience at senior level, after arriving from Arsenal.
"All the players here, we use in training," added Amorim. "So we know the players. For this kind of game, we bring players for the problems we have at this moment.
"But, sometimes, you have surprises with young players. Like with Ayden, every time he played, he looks like a first-team player."
Dutch duo Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee worked away from the main group in the open training session at the Bukit Jalil Stadium.
