Latest team news for Hong Kong vs MU
Manchester United's trio of Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, and Noussair Mazraoui are absent from the Asian tour due to injury. The outgoing Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen are also absent for personal reasons. However, Jonny Evans remains available to play before leaving the club in the summer.
After using 25 players (excluding goalkeeper) in Wednesday's match – including first-team stars and young players – coach Amorim is expected to continue rotating and giving opportunities to the majority of the squad.
Shea Lacey and Jaydan Kamason are two young players who made an impact coming on in the second half and are likely to continue to be used, alongside names like Tyler Fredricson, Jack Moorhouse, Tyler Fletcher and Sekou Kone.
Amid speculation about their future at Man United, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes both played the full second half on Wednesday and could feature in the next game.
On the Hong Kong side, 23 out of the 24 players in the squad are currently playing for clubs in the country. The only exception is striker Michael Udebuluzor – who currently plays in the German fifth division for VfR Mannheim.
Lee Man FC striker Wong Wai is the most capped player in the current squad (55 caps) and is a likely starter in the attack. Brazilian winger Everton Camargo is also ready to play with 9 goals in 17 appearances for the national team.

Latest football match prediction: Hong Kong vs MU
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim had declared before Wednesday's match that his team was on a "fresh start" after a disastrous 2024-25 season, but perhaps the Portuguese strategist will need to reconsider that statement.
Indeed, the Red Devils were booed by a portion of the 72,000-plus spectators in Malaysia for their lackluster performance, and they once again lacked sharpness in the final third – less than 24 hours after Wolves striker Matheus Cunha was cleared for a medical to complete his £62.5 million transfer to Old Trafford.
Maung Maung Lwin's 71st-minute goal was enough to inflict another defeat on Manchester United – their 12th loss since the start of the year. This match came exactly one week after they lost 0-1 to Tottenham in the Europa League final, officially eliminating them from European competition next season – for the second time in 35 years.
Manchester United's winless streak continues. Since mid-March, they haven't won two consecutive games in any competition. Wednesday's match against the ASEAN All-Stars – following their 2-0 victory over Aston Villa in the final round of the Premier League – also failed to break that streak.
Before embarking on the much-needed summer break and transitioning to pre-season in July, Man United will play one final friendly match – expected to generate £8 million for the club.
While the ASEAN All-Stars team comprises players from various countries, the players representing Hong Kong have regularly played together at the national team level, promising a different kind of challenge for Man United.
The Hong Kong team – currently ranked 153rd in the world by FIFA – last played in March in a 0-0 draw with Singapore in the Asian Cup qualifiers, ending a run of seven consecutive wins in all competitions.
Led by Ashley Westwood – a Shropshire native, a graduate of the Manchester United academy, and a player for 13 English clubs throughout his career – Hong Kong is preparing for its first encounter with Manchester United since the summer of 2005. On that occasion, goals from Giuseppe Rossi and Dong Fangzhuo secured a 2-0 victory for Sir Alex Ferguson's Red Devils in a friendly match.
