Chido Obi scored a brace as Manchester United secured a 3-1 victory over Hong Kong in a post-season friendly match at the Hong Kong stadium.
The Denmark U21 international of Nigerian descent equalized for the Red Devils at the start of the second half after Juninho had given the Asian club the lead.
Five minutes into the second half, Obi, who replaced Rasmus Hojlund in the 46th minute, fired into the bottom corner from the edge of the box after receiving a pass from Manuel Ugarte.
With eight minutes to the end of the match, he headed home the winner following a pinpoint cross from Mason Mount.
