Manchester United fell in a shocking 2-0 loss to newly promoted Hull City in their first match of the 2026-27 Premier League.

It took just 17 minutes for United to fall behind when Semi Ajayi smashed home from a corner. Nobel Mendy doubled Hull’s surprise advantage after 38 minutes with a powerful header.

On both occasions, United were beaten by set pieces swung into their box. United toiled in the second half but never looked like rescuing anything from a dreadful opening match.
