Young MU star shines
Compared to the Southeast Asian All-Stars, the Hong Kong All-Stars are an easier opponent, so MU has a better game. Coach Ruben Amorim and his team no longer have to endure as much pressure as when playing at Bukit Jalil (Malaysia) on May 28. In Hong Kong, MU easily controlled the game completely when holding the ball up to 72%, creating 28 shots on goal. Meanwhile, the home team only had 7 shots.
However, it was the home team who took the lead after MU missed too many good chances. In the 19th minute, Anson made a skillful pass for Juninho to run down and then decisively score. Tom Heaton was also at fault for his lack of concentration, conceding a goal even though Juninho shot from a relatively narrow angle.
After conceding the goal, MU continued to attack to find an equalizer. But just like what happened before, Bruno Fernandes and his teammates' finishing was not sharp, so the opportunity was still not able to be converted into a goal.
Many MU first team players were in the starting lineup such as Rammus Hojlund, Casemiro, Garnacho, Tom Heaton and Bruno Fernandes.

It was not until the 50th minute that the "Red Devils" equalized. Chido Obi seized the opportunity very quickly with a turn and a surprise shot with his left foot, giving goalkeeper Tse Kawing no chance to block. In the 82nd minute, Obi continued to play the hero role with a clever run and position to head the ball into the net of the Hong Kong All-Stars. This time, the assist was provided by Mason Mount. In the 90+5 minute, after Amad's cross, Ayden Heaven jumped high to head the ball, sealing a 3-1 victory for the team from the land of fog.
Coach Amorim still has a lot to worry about
In terms of results, MU can be temporarily satisfied after losing 0-1 to the Southeast Asian All-Stars team 2 days ago. But the performance of the "Red Devils" is unlikely to convince the difficult Manucians. They wasted too many opportunities. Even in many face-to-face situations with the opponent's goalkeeper, Coach Amorim's students failed to finish successfully. If it weren't for the brilliance of young players like Obi (born in 2007) and Heaven (born in 2006), MU could have left Asia with another defeat.
After the Asian tour, MU will return on July 19 with a friendly match against Leeds United in Sweden. Next, they fly to the US, where they will have three friendly matches with West Ham (July 27), Bournemouth (July 31) and Everton (August 4). The pre-season of coach Amorim's team will end with a match against Fiorentina at Old Trafford, taking place on August 9. MU still has a lot to overcome and the next 5 matches will be very valuable for this team.
