EPL: Schmeichel names 3 players that caused Man United’s 2-0 loss to Hull City

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has identified three players who were responsible for the Red Devils' 2-0 defeat to Hull City in their Premier League match. Michael Carrick's team suffered a difficult return to action in the league as Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored the goals. Initially, Schmeichel criticized Patrick Dorgu for losing focus at the front post, failing to block the first corner kick.

Ayden Heaven was also scolded for allowing Oli McBurnie to get behind him at the back post, enabling Ajayi to score. Schmeichel expressed disappointment in Luke Shaw for Mendy's goal, stating that Shaw played everyone else onside due to his lack of concentration at a crucial moment. The ex-goalkeeper emphasized that an experienced team should not be making such errors, particularly highlighting Shaw's misplaced positioning, which led to the second goal.

Manchester United will next face Ipswich Town in a newly promoted side at Old Trafford on Sunday, August 30.
