Manchester United shocked by newly promoted Hull City on opening day
Manchester United conceded two goals from set pieces and were beaten 2-0 by newly promoted Hull City as the 2026-27 Premier League season kicked off on Saturday.
Manchester United suffered a shock defeat as newly promoted Hull City started their Premier League season on Saturday with a 2-0 win. Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored the goals, both set piece masterpieces by Hull's regen Slater. Michael Carrick, who took charge of the Red Devils on a permanent basis, was evidently disappointed with the outcome.
Premier League pundits had predicted Hull to finish at the bottom of the table, but the Tigers' performance was anything but lacklustre. Their backline, led by a solid defense, demonstrated their set piece prowess, with Oli McBurnie proving to be a formidable target man. While Hull's style might not be flashy, their tenacity and fighting spirit are sure to make them a formidable force in the fight against relegation.
