Bruno Fernandes Blasts Man United After 2-0 Opening-Day Defeat to Hull City

1 / 2

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes criticised his teammates after the club opened the 2026/27 Premier League season with a 2-0 defeat to newly promoted Hull City. United conceded twice from first-half set pieces despite starting new midfield signings Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. The result gave Hull City a dream start after their promotion. Fernandes said United repeated the same problems that affected their away performances last season. He called on the team to press with more aggression, keep the ball better and improve their defending at set pieces. He added that United had expected Hull to rely on their physical strength and set-piece threat, making the manner of the defeat particularly frustrating.
