Play all audios:


Manchester United ended their post-season tour with a 3-1 win against Hong Kong. The hosts opened the scoring at the Hong Kong Stadium and were leading at half-time, but United looked much


better after several substitutions and they turned the game around. Chido Obi replaced Rasmus Hojlund at the break and scored twice, taking both of his goals brilliantly. Then Ayden Heaven


scored in injury time to wrap up the victory. United will now give their players a chance for a break after a long campaign. So here are the moments you might have missed... 'BOYS WILL


BE BOYS' Hong Kong were under the cosh in the opening 15 minutes of the game, but they weathered the storm and ruthlessly counter-attacked to take the lead through forward Juninho.


Godwill Kukonki could have done better but Tom Heaton was at fault for the goal, allowing the shot to squirm into the net at his front post. Fernandes was sent through on goal and had a huge


chance to equalise, however, he attempted an audacious rabona finish and his shot was blocked by goalkeeper Ka Wing Tse. In normal circumstances, Fernandes would have drilled the shot into


the bottom corner, but he wanted to have fun and attempted a cheeky finish, which tells you what the players think of the post-season friendlies. HEAVEN'S FIRST GOAL Most supporters


would have been working while United played Hong Kong, and the fans who weren't might have turned MUTV off before added time when Heaven scored. United were leading 2-1 and Heaven put


the icing on the cake by scoring his first goal for the club in injury time, finding the top left corner after a wonderful cross from Amad. The defender didn't celebrate, but he did


have a smile on his face. Heaven has been a stellar addition considering he was signed for just over £1million from Arsenal in January. Amorim recently gave him the ultimate compliment when


he said United need to sign more players like him. FERNANDES BICKERING WITH CASEMIRO Shortly after Casemiro's goal was disallowed in the fifth minute, he was spotted bickering with


Fernandes about something. The pair exchanged a few words and perhaps Fernandes was questioning why the Brazilian was offside. Casemiro was offside when Fernandes stepped up to take the


free-kick and he didn't get back onside quickly enough, which meant his headed goal was chalked off. It was unnecessary from Casemiro and Fernandes seemed to give him a telling off.


That is his responsibility as captain, and there is no standout candidate to inherit the armband if Fernandes signs for Al-Hilal. Fernandes is the most vocal member of the dressing room - he


constantly dishes out instructions - and other players must step up if he decides to pack his bags for Saudi Arabia this summer. SURREAL MOMENT Jonny Evans made his final appearance for


United against Hong Kong and experienced a surreal moment when Tyler Fletcher came on for Shea Lacey just before 30 minutes. Evans played with Darren Fletcher, Tyler's dad, during his


first stint at United and then got the opportunity to play with the son of his close friend, which was a full-circle moment. The Northern Irishman is expected to retire after the expiry of


his contract. Evans said goodbye to Old Trafford on the final day of the campaign and the post-season tour was a chance to say farewell to international fans. The 37-year-old has been a


fantastic servant to his boyhood club and he created memories to cherish, like his goal against Burnley and winning the FA Cup during his second stint. AWFUL CONDITIONS There are dozens of


reasons to criticise United this season, but the team's performances in post-season friendlies in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong should be completely free of scrutiny. Hong Kong's


manager said United need these games "like a hole in the head," and he was right. United played 60 competitive games throughout the season, but they still flew halfway around the


world after facing Aston Villa, with the purpose of raising roughly £10 million in cash. The post-season friendlies were arranged for purely commercial reasons. The pitch was also awful in


Hong Kong, appearing overgrown, which made it difficult to orchestrate decent play. However, United overcame the conditions and ended the tour on a positive note.
