Shaw: Man United will bounce back from ‘smack in the face’ at Hull
Luke Shaw has promised Manchester United will bounce back from their “smack in the face” at promoted Hull and go onto have a successful season. Michael Carrick’s men arrived in East Yorkshire as heavy favourites but left with a bloody nose as centre-backs Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored from first-half set-pieces.
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has stated that the club will bounce back from their "smack in the face" defeat against promoted Hull and have a successful season. Hull triumphed 2-0 in Michael Carrick's side's opening Premier League match since 2017, thanks to goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy from set-pieces. Shaw, the club's longest-serving player, believes the setback is just a temporary setback and that the team will regroup and return stronger.
He emphasized the importance of improving set-piece defense, noting that Wayne Rooney's comments about "schoolboy" defending highlight the need for better preparation. Shaw acknowledged the passion, hunger, and focus of Hull's new promotion, but insisted the team was ready and positive before the match. Despite the defeat, Shaw stated that there will be no excuses, and the team is determined to refocus and prepare for their next match against Ipswich at Old Trafford.
