Ally McCoist
Former Scotland striker on TNT SportsManchester United are going to have to be a lot livelier, they looked too predictable.
They've got to move the ball quicker, be more aggressive and defend better.
KICK-OFFpublished at 13:33 BST
Hull 2-0 Man Utd
Patrick Dorgu did not have a good first half and he pays the price for it as he is replaced for the second half by Marcus Rashford.
Will he inspire a comeback?

I would dispute the view that Manchester United haven't played poorly.

Hull need to be careful... most of the teams in the Premier League won't be this easy to play against!

Former Hull defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveIt's all been half chances and Hull have been clinical. They only scored nine set pieces last season and they've scored two today, sitting two goals up against Manchester United.

United are so blunt in attack and similarly blunt in defence. This is concerning. Hull want it and we don’t.

Hull 2-0 Man Utd
Hull City lead 2-0 at the break against Manchester United, and the Tigers have up to 10 first-team players sidelined for the season opener.

Image source, PA MediaShould there be changes at half-time for Manchester United? Maybe bring on Marcus Rashford? They also need to find a way to get Bruno Fernandes more involved.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:18 BST
Hull 2-0 Man Utd
A big cheer from the home fans greets the half-time whistle. What a return to the Premier League Hull City have enjoyed so far.
For Manchester United, lots and lots to improve upon there.

Hull look fitter, more organised, and more up for it. Utd thought they could turn up and win. The thing is, they need to turn up first.

Patrick Dorgu's finishing is leaving a lot to be desired. Bryan Mbeumo looks to put it on a plate for him with a cross, Dorgu rises but directs his header well off target.

Man Utd just seem very predictable in attack.

Another yellow card, this time for Hull's Matt Crooks for a foul a little earlier after the referee had played advantage.

It gets worse for Manchester United fans as now the Hull fans are taunting them with that mauled by the Tigers chant, pawing at the air in the direction of the away supporters.

Match Facts
Hull City are winless in all 10 Premier League meetings with Manchester United (D2 L8), the joint-most they’ve faced a side without winning along with Chelsea (also D2 L8). The Red Devils have only faced Charlton (16), QPR (14) and Birmingham (14) more often without losing.
Manchester United have never lost in the top-flight when facing a newly promoted team in their first game of the season (W9 D3), with this the first instance since 2010-11 when they won 3-0 against Newcastle.
Only Blackpool (100%, 1/1) and Man Utd (65%, 22/34) have a better win ratio in MD1 Premier League games than Hull City, who have won 60% of their openers in the competition (3/5). Their most recent top-flight opening game was when they beat reigning champions Leicester City in 2016-17.
Manchester United have won their opening game of the Premier League season on 22 occasions, the most of any side. However, they lost 1-0 to Arsenal last season, last losing their opening in consecutive league seasons in 1972-73 and 1973-74, getting relegated in the latter.
In their last Premier League campaign back in 2016-17, Hull City conceded more goals than any other side (80). Indeed, they lost their last three games back then by an aggregate score of 13-1.
So far in the Premier League in 2026, Manchester United have earned the most points (41), won the joint-most games (12, level with Arsenal), and scored the most goals (36), while only Bournemouth (1) have lost fewer games in the division this calendar year so far than the Red Devils (2).
Hull City were promoted via the play-offs in last season’s Championship, despite having the fifth-fewest shots (515), third-most shots faced (681), and second-lowest xG difference (-20.6) of all 24 sides in the regular season. Indeed, they are the first side to be promoted to the Premier League after finishing 6th in the Championship since Blackpool in 2010.
Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic is set to become the first ever Bosnian to manage a team in the Premier League, the 28th different nationality to do so. None of the last eight ‘new’ nationality managers have won their opening match (D3 L5), with Chilean Manuel Pellegrini the last to do so in August 2013.
Man Utd boss Michael Carrick has won four of his six managerial meetings with Hull City in all competitions (D1 L1), and is unbeaten in his three visits to the MKM Stadium (W2 D1).
Bruno Fernandes set a new record for most assists in a single Premier League campaign last season with 21. With nine goals as well, he was the first Manchester United player to be involved in 30+ goals in two different Premier League campaigns (also 30 in 2020-21).
