Man United v Hong Kong LIVE: Chido Obi earns victory in post-season friendly

After a shock defeat in Kuala Lumpur, Manchester United’s miserable season is finally set to end

Garnacho still in Manchester United squad despite transfer rumours

Manchester United have finally reached the end of a wretched campaign, earning a comeback victory over Hong Kong in the driving rain.

Hong Kong, the 153rd-ranked nation in the world, took a surprise early lead against the run of play through Juninho, and led at the break. But United hit back in the second half through Chido Obi’s double after coming off the bench, and defender Ayden Heaven headed home a late third to wrap up the win.

United fielded a young team with several teenagers on the pitch, but also gave minutes to veterans Tom Heaton and Jonny Evans on their final outings as United players.

85 min: Patrick Dorgu has just been wiped out by a pretty rough tackle, and he’s down on the floor taking in a few gulps of air. And rain. Mount will take the free-kick from the left...
