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

Manchester United suffered a dismal 2-0 defeat at Hull, marking a disappointing start to their Premier League season. Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored the goals for Hull, who returned to the top flight after a nine-year absence. Despite being down to 10 players due to injuries, Hull dominated United with a spirited performance.

Both newcomers, Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, struggled in their debuts for United. Manager Michael Carrick dismissed claims that United were handed an easy start, but former England captain Alan Shearer harshly criticized the team's lack of hunger and terrible performance. Carrick, who took over after Ruben Amorim's turbulent tenure, faces increased pressure this season as United aims to win their first English title since 2013.

Hull, the first team to finish sixth in the Championship and earn promotion via the play-offs since 2010, was unexpectedly victorious. Neither Carlos Baleba nor the other signings made a significant impact, and United's defenses were particularly vulnerable during set-pieces. Carrick's cautious approach proved prescient as the team's disarray at both ends of the pitch led to a humiliating loss.
