Manchester United’s off-season tour across Asia rolls on, with their next stop bringing them to Hong Kong for a high-profile exhibition match against the host nation’s senior team.
The Reds are looking to bounce back quickly after a disappointing start to their Far East stint, having slipped to a 1-0 defeat against the ASEAN All-Stars on Wednesday in Kuala Lumpur. With just a two-day gap between fixtures, Ruben Amorim’s men will have little time to regroup before facing a more trickier opponent.

Manchester United vs. Hong Kong lineups, team news
Manchester United will be without Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, and Noussair Mazraoui on their Asia tour, with all three sidelined due to injury. Out-of-contract duo Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen have also stayed behind for personal reasons. However, veteran Jonny Evans has made the trip and is available for selection before his expected summer departure.
After fielding 25 different outfield players in Wednesday’s match, including a mix of experienced names and fresh academy talent, manager Ruben Amorim is likely to rotate heavily once again, giving most of his squad another chance to impress.
Youngsters Shea Lacey and Jaydan Kamason brought energy and flair off the bench midweek and are set to see more minutes on Friday. Fellow prospects Tyler Fredricson, Jack Moorhouse, Tyler Fletcher, and Sekou Kone are also in contention for playing time.
Despite swirling transfer rumors, both Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes featured for the full second half on Wednesday, and fans can expect to see them involved once more in the upcoming fixture.

Hong Kong are expected to field a competitive lineup, and one name that could cause problems for Manchester United is Raphael Merkies.
The 23-year-old wide man, who hails from France, plies his trade with Chinese Super League outfit Shandong Taishan and recently found the net in a friendly victory over Macau. His pace and eye for goal make him a potential danger on the flanks in Friday’s clash.
