Embarrassing defeat and bizarre parade - inside Man Utd's troubled trip
Image caption, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim speaks to the media after his side's 3-1 win over Hong Kong"As a player, and I have been there, they probably need this like a hole in the head".
Hong Kong coach Ashley Westwood was blunt and to the point when speaking about Manchester United's post-season tour of Asia.
As a former FA Youth Cup winner with United in 1995 - and someone who worked for the club's in-house television channel MUTV during a recent pre-season trip to Perth - Westwood has an understanding of the pressures and demands associated with being a player for the 20-time English champions.
