  "account": "Manchester United suffered a humiliating 2-0 defeat at promoted Hull in their dreadful start to the Premier League season. Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored the goals for Hull, who were without 10 players due to injury but still put United to the sword with a vibrant display. Michael Carrick's side were lacking hunger and were terrible, according to former England captain Alan Shearer. United's defensive vulnerability at set-pieces was exposed in the 17th minute when a strike from Oli McBurnie was only saved by Senne Lammens. Hull pounced to double their lead in the 38th minute after a pin-point free-kick from Regan Slater, who scored a header. Despite Marcus Rashford coming on for United at half-time, they were unable to mount a comeback. Hull's manager, Sergej Jakirovic, had insisted they could prove the doubters wrong, but now faces pressure to maintain their promotion status after this wretched performance.",
