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
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.

Hong Kong v Man United – live
So this is part two of Man United’s ill-fated post-season tour of Asia. The most disastrous season in the club’s modern history seemingly never ends, although it will finally stop when the full-time whistle blows in Hong Kong tonight. Can Ruben Amorim’s beleaguered boys at least bow out with a win?
Whatever the score, at least Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s balance sheet will be looking a little healthier thanks to this sold-out trip.
