*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Hong Kong have lost only one of their last 12 games and they will fancy their chances of upsetting the odds against a poor Man Utd team.
Man United were dreadful in their 1-0 loss to a cobbled-together ASEAN All-Stars side in Kuala Lumpur and they aren’t worth backing to win at any price here. View our free football tips page for more predictions.

Player to watch – Sekou Kone
Man Utd’s 1-0 friendly loss to ASEAN All-Stars in Kuala Lumpur was embarrassing, however, young midfielder Sekou Kone did impress as a substitute and he could start against Hong Kong.
Classy Kone eager to make an impact
Kone is seen as a raw diamond, though the 19-year-old put in a polished performance when introduced as a first-half sub against ASEAN All-Stars. The Malian starlet has an excellent technical skillset and he could shine again if given an opportunity against Hong Kong.
