  "account": "Hull City returned to the Premier League after a nine-year absence, defeating Manchester United 2-0 in a Premier League match on Saturday. Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored first-half set-piece goals, leaving United with a disappointing loss. United, a 20-time champion, was expected to challenge for the title last season but struggled to impress in this match, indicating they are far from regaining their former glory. The team includes new signings Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos, while Marcus Rashford returned from a loan spell at Barcelona as a halftime substitute. United, last champions in 2013, are unlikely to compete for the title based on this performance. Other matches on Saturday include Tottenham vs. Brentford and Ipswich at home to Sunderland. Arsenal also started its title defense by defeating Coventry, the second-tier champions last season, 3-0 the previous day.",
