Facing the team ranked 153rd in the world by FIFA, Man United, despite being highly regarded for their outstanding squad of players, still performed blandly, lacking identity and especially not really effectively.
It seems that coach Ruben Amorim's team did not learn any lessons from the defeat at the hands of the ASEAN All-Stars team two days earlier, at least from the very problematic attack as well as the opponent scoring first.
Juninho opened the scoring for Hong Kong (China)
Casemiro thought he had opened the scoring for the "Red Devils" in the 5th minute, but the Brazilian midfielder's header was disallowed due to an offside. 14 minutes later, Man United conceded a goal due to the rainy and slippery pitch, and the defense was indecisive in stopping the opponent from advancing. Wong Ho Chun Anson passed the ball very skillfully for Juninho to escape and shoot decisively into the Man United net.
Chido Obi scored two consecutive goals for Man United
After many unfortunate missed situations, Man United gradually improved the quality of their finishing. Within 32 minutes, Chido Obi scored two goals to help Man United take the lead before Ayden Heaven scored an impressive goal in the 90+5 minute, sealing a 3-1 victory for Man United.
Ayden Heaven and Chido Obi have just joined Man United from Arsenal not long ago
It was just a friendly match but there was a trophy and a victory for Man United from the young faces who were still determined, full of enthusiasm and especially had enough desire to fight and win. Even though they won, Man United still had to look back at their playing style and fighting spirit, which were quite sluggish after a long season of hard work in disappointment, full of regret.
The friendly cup is a reward for the determination of young players.
The Asian tour has just ended, Man United prepares for the summer matches in North America with the fear of losing the "leader of the pack", captain Bruno Fernandes. Since the beginning of the week, agent Miguel Pinho has flown to Saudi Arabia to negotiate with the leadership of Al-Hilal Club about the future of the Portuguese midfielder.
Bruno Fernanfes must consider whether to leave or stay
The Riyadh club are said to be ready to offer Bruno Fernandes a three-year contract worth around £700,000 a week after tax, more than four times his current earnings at Old Trafford. Al-Hilal have also given Bruno Fernandes 72 hours to decide whether to stay or leave.
Saudi Arabia's top team want a leader in place before they travel to the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup next month.
Such generous conditions need to bring immediate results because Al-Hilal does not want to drag things out, and if Bruno Fernandes refuses to join, a replacement must be found immediately.
Bruno Fernandes is the best player of Man United this season
Al-Hilal have agreed to negotiate with Man United over the transfer of Bruno Fernandes for a fee in the region of £100m. Man United certainly do not want to sell their captain, but the huge financial pressure from the defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final could make the "Red Devils" leadership reconsider.
