Manchester United supporters in Kuala Lumpur were treated to a genuine taste of the passion for the Red Devils earlier this week, despite Ruben Amorim's team suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of ASEAN All-Stars, which was followed by boos from the crowd.
Yet, the Portuguese manager is optimistic for a turnaround in today's clash with Hong Kong. After a disappointing 15th-place finish in the Premier League, Manchester United has had a tough season, and the challenges continue.
Since taking over the reins at United mid-season from Erik ten Hag, Amorim has been forthright in his evaluations. The 40-year-old conceded that the fans were justified in their criticism of the team's performance in their last outing.
In the build-up to the match, he reflected: "If you can afford it - that is the important thing - then you support your club. I have my club as a young kid in Portugal.
"No matter what the situation was, I was there - and I suffered a lot, in Benfica in the 90s. It was a struggle, a lot, but I never stopped buying tickets and [for] my father it was a gift in my birthday," reports Liverpool.com.
"So it's going to be the same [in Hong Kong]. These people believe in Manchester United, no matter what the context. It's our job, it's our duty to improve the team and to improve the next season."
The fixture is scheduled for an 8pm start local time (1pm UK time) and will be broadcast live exclusively for MUTV subscribers. Fans can watch the game through the channel's online streaming service or on television for those who have access to MUTV.
Amorim utilised 27 of his 32-man squad in Kuala Lumpur, with no player featuring for more than a half. Altay Bayindir remained on the bench and could potentially start here.
Matthijs de Ligt, Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Joshua Zirkzee were all spectators from the sidelines. Their playing time is being carefully managed to ensure they are in peak condition for the commencement of pre-season.
Amorim confirmed that Shaw would also be absent from the Hong Kong match. Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire and Andre Onana have jetted off to India to engage with fans and partners rather than participate in the game.
Hong Kong, United's opponents here, represent the region in international football.
Their coach is Ashley Westwood, a product of the Manchester United academy who went on to play for Bradford City, Sheffield Wednesday and Wrexham.

Simone Inzaghi still tells his kids about Celtic as 'special' Hoops leave both Champions League Final managers stunned
Both managers in tonight's showpiece final have had plenty of nice words to say about Celtic It's a Champions League Final for the ages in Munich – but if you listen to both managers, they might rather it was taking place at Celtic Park. Simone Inzaghi's Inter take on Luis Enrique's PSG at the Allianz Arena as two of Europe's best sides officially bring the curtain down on season 2024/25. The Italians dumped Enrique's former team Barcelona in one of the all-time great semi-finals while French champions PSG sweeped three of the Premier League's best in Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal to reach this stage. It wasn't so long ago though that each of them were sitting in the dugout at Parkhead. Back in 2016, Enrique brought his Barca side to Glasgow for a Champions League clash and they were confident – having put seven past the Hoops in Spain. The damage this time wasn't as devastating, a Lionel Messi double the extent of it as Barca picked up a comfortable 2-0 win. Speaking ahead of it, Enrique said: Luis Enrique: 'It will be special because they are a great club with a spectacular atmosphere and we must enjoy it to the fullest and give the best possible account of ourselves. "We will be happy to go to one of the best stadiums in Europe in terms of atmosphere knowing that their fans will have a great sporting image and offer their full support to the team.' Inzaghi was even more gushing in 2019 when his Lazio side were gunned down in the Europa League. And speaking after the game when Christopher Jullien's goal gave Celtic a late 2-1 win, he couldn't have been more effusive in his praise. The gushing boss said: "The Celtic game is a match I will be telling my children about for many years. In fact, I actually brought my oldest child with me because I knew how good it would be. "Yes, we lost to Celtic, but they are a quality team who play at a very high pace and to a very good standard. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Man Utd tipped for audacious Caoimhin Kelleher transfer from arch-rivals Liverpool to replace Andre Onana
The world's best keeper is the favourite to replace Onana IN FOR THE KELL IN FOR THE KELL Man Utd tipped for audacious Caoimhin Kelleher transfer from arch-rivals Liverpool to replace Andre Onana LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has been tipped for a shock move to fierce rivals Manchester United. United's goalkeeper crisis means they could look to sell Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir and release Tom Heaton this summer. 1 Caoimhin Kelleher has been tipped for a shock move to arch rivals Manchester United Onana and No 2 stopper Bayindir are both prone to howlers, with United eyeing a complete reset. Meanwhile Kelleher, capped 22 times for Ireland already, is understood to want to compete for regular minutes. Kelleher secured his second Premier League title with Liverpool this season but only started 10 games with Alisson ahead of him in the pecking order. Prominent United reporter at ESPN Mark Ogden has put Kelleher on his shortlist of potential goalkeepers to replace Onana. Ogden said: "Kelleher wants to move, he wants to play football. "It would be good deal at such a low price to get someone with proven experience in English football." Liverpool value the 26-year-old in excess of £20million, with Brentford also interested. The champions have only been open to selling him since securing Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia last summer. Join SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford Meanwhile, Aston Villa No 1 Emi Martinez is the bookie's favourite to replace Onana at Old Trafford. SunSport exclusively revealed that Martinez, twice voted Best Goalkeeper in the world, is reportedly up for the challenge. Ruben Amorim bursts out laughing when asked about Man Utd star's future Martinez, 32, fuelled speculation when he broke down in tears and took a bow in front of the Holte End after Villa's final home game of the season. The World Cup winner's contract runs until 2029 but a bid of £40million or more would ease Villa's PSR concerns.

Man Utd title winner didn't want to leave house after being mocked for his looks and got apology from Gary Lineker
LUKE CHADWICK has revealed he was left battling depression and anxiety after being mocked for his appearance. The former Manchester United midfielder was on the books at Old Trafford between 1997 and 2004. 3 3 3 Chadwick came through the United youth system, winning the Premier League in 2001. He would go to play for West Ham, Stoke and MK Dons in a near two-decade career. Ahead of releasing his autobiography Not Just a Pretty Face, the 44-year-old has opened up about abuse he suffered as a young pro. Chadwick admits cruel comments about his appearance made him want to hide away in his house in the early stages of his career. He told BBC Sport: "As a 19, 20-year-old it should have been the best time of my life but for a period of time. "I didn't want to go to the shops, I didn't want to go out with my friends. "I would just want to stay at home because I was so scared that people would talk about the way that I looked. "I wasn't able to speak about it to anyone – not even my family, my friends – it was something that I kept so deep inside. "I probably felt helpless, in a way, because I just didn't know how to deal with it. And I just wanted it to stop, really." Chadwick's anxiety improved after moving away from Old Trafford to join the Hammers in 2004. Ex-Man Utd player Luke Chadwick claims his 'stomach twisted' whenever he appeared on TV as he battled depression He continued: "It wasn't until I came away from Manchester United, and the spotlight's not on you as much. "I was able to rebuild my confidence and live a really happy life. "Football was always the place I felt free - the place where I didn't think about anything else." Chadwick also received an apology from Gary Lineker for comments made on the BBC show They Think It's All Over. Lineker was a team captain on the panel show, which regularly poked fun at Chadwick over his looks. The England legend wrote on X in 2020: "I was part of that show, therefore, I too would like to apologise to Luke Chadwick for any hurt caused."
