  "account": "Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick revealed the club must learn from their 2-0 defeat against Hull City, their opening match of the Premier League season. Hull's Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored the first-half goals that left United shattered. Carrick noted that United's defense was ineffective and their attack was lackluster, pointing to the combination of both as the cause of their downfall. The team entered the match as title contenders after finishing third last season, but were found wanting against Hull, a team promoted to the Premier League after a nine-year hiatus. Carrick expressed disappointment with the result, saying, \"We have a lot to improve on, it was never going to be perfect.\" He added that a poor start in away games can be challenging, and United will need to match Hull's intensity and aggression to succeed.",
