United have called off their match in Indonesia after bomb blasts hit the hotel they were due to stay in.

The squad arrived in Kuala Lumpur ahead of Saturday's clash against a Malaysia XI and were set to face an Indonesia All Star side on Monday.

At least nine people were killed and 48 injured in the attacks in Jakarta.

The Premier League champions are also lined up for two friendlies in South Korea and China on their tour of the Far East ahead of the new season.

A United statement said: "Following the explosions in Jakarta - one of which was at the hotel the team were due to stay in - and based on advice received, the directors have informed the Indonesian FA that the club cannot fulfil the fixture in Jakarta on the 2009 Asia tour."

Monday's match in Jakarta had been a 100,000 sell-out, with the club due to stay in the city's Ritz-Carlton for four nights.

"We are working on a revised itinerary outside Indonesia with the promoters and we will make a further announcement when these decisions have been made," the statement added.

"We are deeply disappointed at not being able to visit Indonesia and thank the Indonesian FA and our fans for their support. Our thoughts go to all those affected by the blasts."

Manchester United have signed promising 21-year-old Senegal striker Mame Biram Diouf from Norwegian side Molde FK. Diouf will remain on loan with his current club until January.

What a trick fergie played by saying he wasnt signing anyone else, does anyone know anything about this guy what kind of player is he.
