Former Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney tore apart the “schoolboy” defending performed by Luke Shaw during Saturday’s damaging defeat to Hull City. Yet, more concerning was the grim pattern which the 2–0 reverse followed.
United were outmuscled, out-thought and outplayed by the newly promoted Tigers in Yorkshire. Semi Ajayi gave the hosts a deserved lead in the 17th minute from a corner before Nobel Mendy doubled that advantage on his debut with another set-piece goal.
