What happened. Manchester United lost their opening Premier League match 2-0 at Hull City, with goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy. Alan Shearer criticized United's performance as 'dreadful' and lacking fitness.

• Shearer said United offered nothing upfront and couldn't live with Hull's energy.
• Carrick's first permanent match in charge ended in defeat.
• Carrick defended his team, saying one loss doesn't mean everything is wrong.

“Man United were dreadful in all positions I thought, particularly upfront, they offered nothing.”

— Alan Shearer

United will need to address fitness and tactical issues quickly to avoid an early-season crisis.
