Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney have delivered a damning verdict on Manchester United following their 2-0 defeat to Hull City on the opening day of the Premier League season.

Appearing as pundits on Match of the Day, Shearer pulled no punches in his assessment of United's display, suggesting the players did not look physically prepared for the campaign ahead.

"They just didn't look fit at all," Shearer said, encapsulating a performance that left supporters alarmed as the new season began.

Rooney, himself a former Manchester United icon, echoed those concerns, adding his own critical perspective on a side that struggled badly against newly promoted Hull City.

The defeat marks a deeply troubling start for Manchester United, who were outplayed by a team making their return to the top flight. Hull City's victory will be celebrated as one of the standout results of the Premier League's opening weekend.

For United, the fitness and intensity questions raised by two of England's most decorated former footballers will demand urgent answers from the club's management ahead of the matches to come.
