Post-00s young player saviors, Manchester United reverses Hong Kong team to avoid embarrassing defeat

On the evening of May 30, in a friendly match, Manchester United reversed the Hong Kong team 3-1 away with the outstanding performance of 17-year-old striker Chido Obi-Martin, avoiding an embarrassing defeat.

Manchester United, which had previously lost against the ASEAN All-Star team, sent Bruno Fernandez to start in this game, hoping to use the Portuguese "midfield brain" to reverse the decline. In the first half, the "Red Devils" had the advantage on the field and created threatening attacks many times, but Rashmus Hoylund, Garnacho and B Fei missed opportunities one after another.

In the 19th minute, the Hong Kong team in China seized a counterattack opportunity and scored first. Forward Zu Liannu broke into the penalty area and shot low, goalkeeper Tom Heaton made a mistake in saving the ball, the ball rolled into the net, and the home team led 1-0.

After that, Manchester United strengthened its offensive. In the 36th minute, B Fei tried a fancy "Rainbow Over" shot, but unfortunately he missed the excellent opportunity. Casemiro then headed the ball, but was judged invalid for offside.

After the change of sides, coach Amorin made a significant adjustment, Hoylund was replaced, and young player Chido Obi came on as a substitute. At the same time, Mount, Menu and Ugat also took on the battlefield one after another.

In the 50th minute, Ugat made a wonderful pass. After receiving the ball, Obie calmly shot with his left foot to equalize the score for Manchester United. However, the team did not take advantage of the victory and instead fell into chaos for a while, almost losing again in the 69th minute.

At the critical moment, Obi stood up again! In the 82nd minute, he received an assist from Mount, jumped high and headed the ball, and the ball went straight to the dead corner to help the team overtake the score. In stoppage time, the young player Haiwen, who appeared on the bench, won another game and secured the victory.

In the end, Manchester United reversed 3-1. Their next friendly match will be held on July 19, with Leeds United, which has just won the English Championship.
