Manchester United concluded their post-season tour of the Far East with a 3-1 victory over Hong Kong.
The result helped to partially erase the sting of their surprise 1-0 loss to the ASEAN All-Stars earlier in the week, and the club earned £7.8million in the process.
The match began with a setback for United, as goalkeeper Tom Heaton allowed Juninho’s near-post effort to slip under his body, handing the hosts an unexpected lead.
Despite the early setback, United looked the better side throughout, creating a raft of chances.
Bruno Fernandes, possibly playing his final game in a Manchester United shirt with Al-Hilal tempting him away from Old Trafford, even attempted a showboating rabona finish in the first half, but it was comfortably saved.
United made changes at half-time, introducing 11 substitutes, and it was this fresh second-half lineup that turned the game decisively in their favour.

Chido Obi was the standout performer, netting twice and earning the man of the match award. His movement, positioning and clinical finishing provided a stark contrast to Rasmus Hojlund, who struggled throughout, unable to make the most of the chances that came his way in the slippery conditions.
Ayden Heaven, a former Arsenal player like Obi, completed the scoring in stoppage time, heading home from an Amad Diallo cross to cap off an impressive second-half display.
Mason Mount also caught the eye, thriving in a No.10 role that manager Ruben Amorim may look to deploy him in more regularly next season. Mount’s link-up play with Obi was particularly promising and offered a glimpse of what could be a productive partnership in the months ahead.
While the tour was marked by its share of disappointments, it ultimately provided some silver linings for United.
