Manchester United experienced a disastrous start to their Premier League campaign, falling 0-2 to newly promoted Hull City. The highly anticipated match saw the "Red Devils," under manager Michael Carrick, unable to find the net against a determined Hull side.

Hull City, making their return to the top flight after a nine-year absence, celebrated a memorable victory. Defenders Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored in the 17th and 38th minutes, respectively, both capitalizing on set-piece opportunities. This marks Hull City's first-ever win against Manchester United in the Premier League.

The defeat is a significant blow to Manchester United's ambitions for the season. The team had entered the match with high expectations, but their performance failed to match the intensity of their opponents. Hull City, who narrowly avoided relegation from the Championship two seasons ago, showcased resilience and clinical finishing.
