Hull stun United in Premier League return

Hull City marked their return to the Premier League with an impressive victory over misfiring Manchester United. Center-backs Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored the crucial goals as the Tigers secured a famous win against a side that continues to struggle since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.

The defeat raises questions about Michael Carrick's permanent appointment as Manchester United manager, with the team appearing sluggish and vulnerable at set-pieces. Hull's triumph suggests they may be better equipped for Premier League survival than many anticipated, while United faces potential squad surgery before the transfer window closes. mchezo.co.za
