Latest Hong Kong vs MU team information
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 ahead of his summer departure.
Having used 25 players (excluding the goalkeeper) in Wednesday's game – including first-team stars and youngsters – Amorim is expected to continue rotating and giving the majority of his squad a chance to play.
Shea Lacey and Jaydan Kamason were two young players who made their mark when they came 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, having scored nine goals in 17 caps.

Latest Hong Kong vs MU football review
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim claimed ahead of Wednesday's game that his side were making a "fresh start" after a disastrous 2024–25 campaign, but the Portuguese 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 to undergo a medical to complete his £62.5m move to Old Trafford.
Maung Maung Lwin’s 71st-minute goal was enough to condemn United to another defeat – their 12th of the year. It came exactly a week after they lost the Europa League final 1-0 to Tottenham, meaning they would 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, United will play one final friendly – expected to raise £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.
Hong Kong – 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 Shropshire-born Ashley Westwood – a graduate of the United academy 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.
