Man Utd humiliated by Hull in dismal start to Premier League season
KINGSTON UPON HULL: Manchester United crashed to a humiliating 2-0 defeat at promoted Hull on Saturday in a dismal start to their Premier League campaign.
Manchester United suffered a humiliating 2-0 defeat at promoted Hull on Saturday, marking a dismal start to their Premier League season. Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored for Hull at the MKM Stadium. Despite injury concerns, Hull put United to the sword with a vibrant display. United, expected to challenge for the title after finishing third last season, showed no signs of ability to compete with champions Arsenal.
Midfielders Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos struggled in their United debuts. Manager Michael Carrick dismissed claims that United had been given an easy start, with a tough home game against Ipswich to follow. Former England captain Alan Shearer criticized United's lack of hunger and performance. Carrick, now permanent boss, faces pressure to lead United to their first English title since 2013.
Hull, back in the Premier League for the first time since 2017, ended a nine-year wait for a first win over United, signaling a potential shift in the fixture.
