Carrick's Man Utd stunned by Hull City in opening day disaster, concede two from set pieces

Manchester United began their new Premier League season with a stunning 0-2 loss to Hull City, a team that returned to the top flight after a nine-year absence. The match, held at MKM Stadium, saw Michael Carrick's side fall victim to two set-piece goals, marking a disappointing start for the manager and the team.

The defeat is particularly concerning given Hull City's status as a newly promoted side. Manchester United, expected to compete at the top, struggled to find their rhythm and ultimately conceded goals that have cast a shadow over their opening fixture. The nature of the goals, both from set pieces, suggests defensive vulnerabilities that will need immediate attention.

This result is a significant setback for Carrick, who was hoping to build momentum in his first full season as permanent manager. The team's performance raises questions about their readiness for the challenges ahead in the Premier League, especially against opponents they were expected to overcome.
