Indonesia will now host Manchester United on 20 July at Bung Karno Stadium and not 24 July as originally planned.
And it appears Indonesia will be represented by an All Star XI, not the national team.

The Indonesia FA (PSSI) is organizing an SMS contest for fans who will be able to decide who will form the Indonesian Super League (ISL) Selection XL that will take on Manchester United in an exhibition match in July.
The Red Devils will be making Asia their destination this year during the off-season and they have confirmed four dates all across the continent.
They are due to play in Malaysia on 18 July and then in Jakarta two days later before heading off to South Korea and finishingp with a date in China on 26 July.
Herman Ago, the Commercial Organising Committee coordinator said that the SMS voting by the public - which will be launched soon - will continue until 10 July 2009.
“As to who will be coaching the ISL Selection, it is up to PSSI to decide,“ said Herman.
Apart from getting involved in the selection of the players, voters will also get the chance to take part in a lucky draw where they can win the chance to 'meet and greet' the United players, watch their training sessions as well as receive VIP tickets for the game.
