Hull City have made an extraordinary return to the Premier League, defeating Manchester United 2–0 on the opening matchday of the season.
At the MKM Stadium, the hosts scored both goals in the first half, with Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy finding the net to deliver a major blow to Michael Carrick’s side.
Manchester United struggled badly to create chances and looked disorganized, particularly in midfield. Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos made their debuts for the “Red Devils,” while Marcus Rashford came on in the second half but failed to change the course of the match.
For Hull City, this was a historic victory in their return to the English top flight after nine years. Sergej Jakirovic’s side made the best possible start to the season, securing three points against one of the biggest names in English football.
The defeat represents a disappointing start for Manchester United and Michael Carrick, who must now respond in the upcoming matches.
