Manchester United were stunned in their opening fixture of the new Premier League season as they suffered a disastrous 2–0 defeat away at Hull City.
An adrenaline-fueled start from the newly promoted hosts flipped the script at MKM Stadium, with Semi Ajayi’s 17th-minute opener—nine years and three months on from Hull’s last Premier League goal—entirely deserved. Things went from bad to worse for the Red Devils before the break, too, as a close-range header from debutant Nobel Mendy widened their deficit.
