Manchester United suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to newly-promoted Hull City at their opening Premier League match. Bruno Fernandes has admitted that United lacked the intensity and aggression needed to cope with the challenge of an away game at Hull's MKM Stadium. The game was won by Hull City, who scored twice in the first half, with Semi Ajayi finding the net both times.
The first goal came after United failed to adequately deal with a set-piece delivered by Hull City's Regan Slater, who found Oli McBurnie. Hull's second goal arrived just seven minutes before halftime when club-record signing Nobel Mendy headed home from another Slater set-piece. Fernandes, speaking to TNT Sports, acknowledged the fans' frustration with United's lackluster performance, but also emphasized the team's understanding of the difficulty of playing away at top-tier grounds.
He reassured the fans, stating that the team understands the need for improvement and that the club will keep pushing to strengthen as a unit.
