Hull shock Man Utd with dream Premier League return
Watch highlights as Hull City make a dream start to their return to the Premier League, beating Manchester United 2-0 on the opening weekend at the MKM Stadium.
In a remarkable Premier League comeback, Hull City stunned Manchester United with a 2-0 victory, much to the surprise of many football pundits and observers. This victory marked Hull's first league win over United since 1974 and was particularly significant as Hull had been predicted to finish at the bottom of the table. Manager Sergej Jakirovic, who became the first Bosnian-Herzegovinian to manage in the Premier League, emphasized that his team was determined to prove their critics wrong.
The win came after Hull's first Premier League game in nine years, following a near-relegation season last year. Defender Semi Ajayi, a summer signing, stated that the team was focused on self-fulfillment and not interested in outside pressure. Hull's strong performance, led by Ajayi and fellow defender Nobel Mendy, silenced many doubters and showcased the team's potential to defy the odds.
