Organisers of Manchester United’s match in Hong Kong next month have confirmed that the city’s representative team will provide the opposition during the English Premier League club’s first visit in 12 years.
The date of the friendly fixture has also been confirmed as May 30, a Friday, with kick-off at 8pm.
The game falls a day before Hong Kong’s FA Cup final, prompting questions over whether the local association would move the domestic showpiece to avoid a clash. The final is guaranteed to feature Tai Po or Eastern, who meet in one of the semi-finals and could each normally be expected to provide a number of Hong Kong squad members.
However, a source on Tuesday told the Post that the final, which is taking place at Mong Kok Stadium, would not be rescheduled.
The visit could also come at a busy time for 20-time English champions United.
