The Red Devils have called off their Indonesian adventure as chaos reigns in the capital

Manchester United have cancelled their friendly game against an Indonesian Super League All-Star team after news broke of bomb explosions in Jakarta today.

The match was due to take place on July 20 as part of United's pre-season tour of the Far East.

But the Red Devils have pulled the plug on the opening leg of their trip, after learning of the terrorist attacks upon arrival in Kuala Lumpur this morning.

The bomb blasts hit two hotels in Jakarta, one of which, the Ritz Carlton, would have been the squad's resting stop after the game took place.

An official club statement read, "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."

Early reports across the world's press indicate at least nine people to be dead following the attacks, with as many as 50 others injured at both the Ritz and Marriott hotels.
