Comments and predictions for Hong Kong vs MU: Honorable victory for the Red Devils
The international friendly match between Hong Kong and MU takes place at 7:00 p.m. on May 30. Nghe An Newspaper analyzes performance, makes football comments and predicts the score.
Latest information on Hong Kong vs MU squad
Manchester United trio Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro and Noussair Mazraoui are out of the Asian tour due to injury. Out-of-contract pair Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen are also absent for personal reasons. However, Jonny Evans is available before leaving the club in the summer.
Having used 25 players (excluding the goalkeeper) in Wednesday's game – including first-team stars and youngsters – coach Amorim is expected to continue to rotate and give the majority of his squad a chance to play.
Shea Lacey and Jaydan Kamason were two young players who left their mark when coming on in the second half and will likely continue to be used, alongside names like Tyler Fredricson, Jack Moorhouse, Tyler Fletcher and Sekou Kone.
Amid speculation over their futures at Man United, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes both played the full second half on Wednesday and could return for the match.
On the Hong Kong side, 23 of the 24 players in the squad play for local clubs. 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) and could start up front. Brazilian winger Everton Camargo is also available with nine goals in 17 caps.

Latest Hong Kong vs MU football commentary
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim claimed before Wednesday's game that his side were making a "fresh start" after a disastrous 2024-25 campaign, but the Portuguese tactician may need to reconsider that statement.
Indeed, the Red Devils were booed by a section of the 72,000-strong Malaysian crowd for a lacklustre display, and they once again lacked a cutting edge in the final third – less than 24 hours after Wolves striker Matheus Cunha was cleared for a medical to complete his £62.5m move to Old Trafford.
Maung Maung Lwin’s 71st-minute goal was enough to hand United another defeat – their 12th of the year. It came exactly a week after they lost 1-0 to Tottenham in the Europa League final, meaning they will miss out on European football next season for just the second time in 35 years.
Manchester United’s wait for consecutive victories is still not over. They have not won two consecutive games in any competition since mid-March. Wednesday’s match against the ASEAN All-Stars – after beating Aston Villa 2-0 in the final round of the Premier League – did not break that streak.
Before taking a much-needed summer break and moving into pre-season in July, Man United will play one final friendly – expected to earn the club £8m.
While the ASEAN All-Stars team includes players from many different countries, the players representing Hong Kong have had regular playing time together at the national team level, promising to create a different 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 Asian Cup qualifying, ending a run of seven consecutive wins in all competitions.
Led by Ashley Westwood – a Shropshire-born United academy graduate who represented 13 English clubs in his career – Hong Kong are preparing for their first meeting with United since the summer of 2005. Goals from Giuseppe Rossi and Dong Fangzhuo gave Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils a 2-0 win in a friendly.
