Hull vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League latest score, match stream, goal updates and fan reaction
Hull vs Manchester United LIVE!
Manchester United kick off the new Premier League season with a lunchtime trip to Hull. It’s the second game on opening weekend after champions Arsenal cruised past Coventry to begin their title defence, with another newly-promoted team now facing a daunting first assignment at the MKM Stadium. Michael Carrick officially begins his reign as permanent Man Utd boss today after a successful interim spell in charge and will want a fast start after a dispiriting end to pre-season.
Marcus Rashford could make his first competitive Manchester United appearance since December 2024 after being handed the No9 shirt, while there are expected to be debuts for new signings Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. Benjamin Sesko is pushing to return from injury, though it will be a little while before fans see Carlos Baleba in action. Hull are already battling selection issues as they embark upon their first top-flight campaign for a decade, with a raft of absentees including new signings Jack Butland, Oscar Zambrano and Joe Gelhardt, plus Charlie Hughes.
The odds are firmly stacked against the Championship play-off winners this term and Sergej Jakirovic will be eager to prove the doubters wrong. Follow Hull vs Man Utd live below!
Hull vs Manchester United latest news
Live updates
26mins: You must say Hull have made a far better account of themselves thus far than fellow promotees Coventry did last night. They have been front-footed and threatening in attack, and have frustrated United effectively when out of possession, which they have been for 65 per cent of the match.
25mins: Dorgu looses a shot from a tight angle under pressure from Ajayi and Egan, but has to watch it bobble wide.
23mins: Dorgu and Tzolakis are back to their feet, and we play on.
23mins: Dorgu clatters Tzolakis as he looks to get his head on Mbeumo’s cross. Both men have stayed down.
21mins: The free-kick falls to Belloumi on the edge of the box. He sees his name in lights and attempts a brave volley, which is shanked high and wide. He really should have done better.
20mins: The locals at the MKM Stadium are unsurprisingly in full voice now - the place is rocking! Let’s see if they can grab another before United can respond. Coyle lines up a deep free-kick.
18mins: That is a shame for Senne Lammens, who made a stop to push McBurnie’s shot onto the post. Unfortunate that the rebound fell to Ajayi where it did, but not much more the Belgian could have done about it.
GOAL! Hull City 1-0 Manchester United | Ajayi '18
Can you believe it! Hull City take the lead! McBurnie shoots after a corner and Lammens saves well, but Ajayi is well placed to smash the rebound home into an empty net.
15mins: Fernandes makes the necessary clearance to get rid of Hull’s long throw.
14mins: Chances both ways! Tzolakis makes his second stop of the day moments after making the first. Mazraoui finds Cunha in the box but the Brazilian’s shot on the psin is not quite good enough and the Greek saves well.
Hull race back down the opposite end and Giles plays a perfect cross to McBurnie, whose header is turned round the post by Lammens.
