Manchester United will be the fourth Premier League team to visit Hong Kong this summer, following Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur, who recently announced their pre-season plans to come in July.

The last time Manchester United visited Hong Kong was in 2013, when they defeated local team Kitchee 5-2. However, the Premier League giant has since lost its former glory, currently sitting 13th in the Premier League standings with only 10 wins after 31 matches this season.
