Manchester United began their Premier League season with a dismal 2-0 defeat at promoted Hull City, a result that left their title ambitions in tatters. The team was rocked by first-half goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy at the MKM Stadium. Despite Hull being hampered by 10 injuries, they delivered a vibrant performance that exposed United's weaknesses. The loss was a chastening start for a team expected to challenge for the title after finishing third last season. New midfield signings Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos appeared anonymous in their debuts. Former England captain Alan Shearer described United's performance as "shocking, no hunger, they’ve been terrible." Manager Michael Carrick, who had cautioned against assuming an easy start, will be demanding more signings and a drastic improvement after this wretched display. Hull, promoted via the play-offs, defied pre-season predictions of relegation with a memorable victory.
