Manchester United<\/a> are today bidding to avoid yet another humiliating chapter in their \u201cdisaster\u201d campaign when they take on Hong Kong<\/a> in their second of two post-season friendlies.<\/p>\n

United have one more chance to prove their manager wrong as they take on the Hong Kong national team in their final game of the season before the squad flies out for international duty or a much-needed rest. <\/p>\n

Their opponents know a thing or two about United. Head coach Ashley Westwood was born in Shropshire and graduated from the club\u2019s academy. He never made a senior appearance for the club, but did make over 400 during a journeyman career at the likes of Bradford, Wrexham and Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

Date, kick-off time and venue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manchester United vs Hong Kong is scheduled for a 1pm BST kick-off (8pm local time) today, Friday, May 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

The match will take place at the Hong Kong Stadium.<\/p>\n

Manchester United vs Hong Kong team news<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amorim made plenty of substitutes during the loss in Kuala Lumpur, but Altay Bayindir was left on the bench, so he will start in Hong Kong after Andre Onana travelled home. Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes should also start after being named on the bench last time out.<\/p>\n

Diogo Dalot and Harry Maguire have also not joined the squad for the second friendly, while Matthijs de Ligt, Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee remain fitness doubts. Amorim has confirmed that Luke Shaw will not play.<\/p>\n

Unlike ASEAN All-Stars, Hong Kong have named a squad which regularly play together, mostly consisting of players contracted to clubs in China and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

Manchester United vs Hong Kong prediction<\/strong><\/p>\n

It surely cannot get any worse for United, who showed little ability or desire to fight for the ball on Wednesday. Eight of the starting line-up lost the Europa League final, so the supposed talent was on show.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong will prove a sterner test than the cobbled-together XI on show in Kuala Lumpur, and you certainly wouldn’t rule them out scoring a goal, or two. Surely, though, United produce a better performance. Surely.<\/p>\n
