What happened. Manchester United lost 2-0 to newly promoted Hull on the opening day, prompting criticism from Wayne Rooney about their lack of intensity.

• Rooney said United were 'too passive' and need more energy in the press.
• Carrick defended the performance, saying 'we've done a lot of good things'.
• The defeat mirrors a similar loss to Burnley in 2009.

“For Manchester United to build on what they did last season they need to become a team other teams are scared of.”

— Wayne Rooney

United must respond quickly to avoid an early season crisis, with Carrick insisting it's just one game.
