What happened. Manchester United lost 2-0 to Hull City in their Premier League opener, conceding twice from set pieces in the first half. Captain Bruno Fernandes said they made the same mistakes as last season.
- Alan Shearer said United 'didn't look fit' and not ready for 90 intense minutes.
- Hull switched to a back five to exploit gaps behind United's full-backs.
- United's new £85m midfield pairing of Santos and Tielemans started.
“Same mistakes as we did last season every away game. We give too much of the ball to them.”
