Man Utd humiliated by Hull in dismal start to Premier League season

Manchester United suffered a heavy 2-0 defeat at Hull City in their inaugural Premier League match of the season, marking a disappointing start to the new season. Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored for Hull, who fielded a full-strength team despite being absent 10 players due to injury. Michael Carrick, who took over as interim manager following Ruben Amorim's departure, was unable to salvage a promising title challenge for United, who are expected to compete for the title after finishing third last season.

The performance was a stark contrast to their previous matches, with midfielders Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos appearing anonymous, and the defense struggling against Hull's set-pieces. Hull City's manager, Sergej Jakirovic, praised his team's impressive victory, stating that it could prove they are capable of defying expectations after being previously written off as relegation contenders.
