Fans Slam Tielemans After Manchester United’s 2-0 Opening-Day Loss to Hull City
Manchester United began the 2026/27 Premier League season with a shock 2-0 defeat to newly promoted Hull City at the MKM Stadium. Set-piece goals from Nigeria’s Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy condemned Michael Carrick’s side to an unhappy opening day. Much of the criticism after the match focused on Youri Tielemans, who was making his competitive debut for United. The Belgian midfielder was substituted in the 67th minute after struggling to influence the game. Match statistics showed Tielemans recorded no shots on target, chances created, completed dribbles, tackles, interceptions, clearances or aerial duels won. Fans online questioned whether he has the fitness and physicality required for United’s midfield.
