Ferguson said Manchester United was ready for a tough match Saturday, noting that Hong Kong's third-ranked club Kitchee stunned Italian champion Juventus with a 5-3 win on penalties in an exhibition match last month. He said such an upset of a European club in Asia would have been unthinkable two decades ago.

This is Manchester United's third visit to Hong Kong and its fourth trip to Asia in the last eight years. The squad includes big name players Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs.

Skipper Roy Keane didn't make the trip because of an injury, and winger Cristiano Ronaldo stayed behind because his father was ill, the club said.
