Kitchee FC v Manchester United, Pre-Season Friendly: Where to Watch Live
Manchester United will take on Kitchee FC at the Hong Kong Stadium on Monday in their final game of their Asia and Australia Tour for the 2013-14 season. The Red Devils refrained from training on the pitch to avoid further damage after heavy rains and the Barclays Asia Trophy has had its toll.
The match may be called off if the field is not found suitable for playing.
Where to Watch Live
Kick-Off is set for 1pm BST. Live coverage of the game will be available on MUTV on the club's Official Website from 12:30pm BST for registered members.
Overview
This is the second high profile encounter for Kitchee in consecutive years, having seen off Arsenal last year in a 2-2 draw at the same venue. The runners-up in the 2012-13 Hong Kong First Division league, Kitchee will be looking to get their season underway with a win over the European giants and reclaim their title which they last won in 2011-12.
David Moyes has had a forgettable start to his reign as the manager of Manchester United, winning one and losing two of the four games played thus far. However, the former Everton manager will not be too displeased as he was able to give some much needed workout to his younger players by the likes of Adnan Januzaj and Jess Lingard. Wilfried Zaha has impressed in the tour and is likely to play a major part in United's title defence in the upcoming season.
Their last game ended in a 2-2 draw against Cerezo Osaka with Kenyu Sugimoto opening the scoring for the hosts. Shinji Kagawa missed a penalty to bring the Red Devils level but managed to redeem himself by scoring a minute later from a Ryan Giggs cross. However, the hosts went ahead yet again with a brilliant curled shot from Takumi Minamino but a 91<sup>st minute equaliser from Zaha saw Moyes exhale a huge sigh of relief.
