Manchester United began their 2026-27 Premier League campaign with a humbling 2-0 home defeat to newly-promoted Hull City, delivering a statement result on the opening day of the season.

United — one of the competition's most decorated clubs — were unable to find a way past a resolute Hull City side, who arrived at Old Trafford with little expectation and left with all three points.

The result is a sobering start for United as they look to rebuild after a difficult recent run, with Hull City announcing their return to the top flight in emphatic fashion.
