Captain Bruno Fernandes started Manchester United's match against Hong Kong on Friday despite mounting speculation over his future as they came from behind to win 3-1, with teenage substitute Chido Obi scoring twice.

Captain Bruno Fernandes started Manchester United’s match against Hong Kong on Friday despite mounting speculation over his future as they came from behind to win 3-1, with teenage substitute Chido Obi scoring twice.

Beaten and booed off in Malaysia on Wednesday, Ruben Amorim’s side were underwhelming in the first half of their second post-season friendly as they brought the curtain down on a dismal campaign.

Having fallen behind to a soft goal, Obi struck with a smart turn and finish five minutes after the break and again with a glancing header on 82 minutes.

Ayden Heaven scored with a late header as United ended their Asia trip on a winning note.

Manager Amorim, who took over from Erik ten Hag during the season but led United to a dismal 15th-placed finish in the Premier League, has plenty to ponder during the post-season break.

Foremost among his concerns is the future of Fernandes, who is reportedly weighing up a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.

The Portugal international had a bright first half at the 40,000-capacity Hong Kong Stadium, which was about 85 percent full, before going off.
