Hull City vs Manchester United: Three Key Talking Points as Carrick Begins His First Full Season
Michael Carrick begins his first full season as Manchester United manager with an opening-day trip to newly promoted Hull City. United finished third and qualified for the Champions League after Carrick won 12 of his 17 matches in charge last season. He must now show that the late-season revival can be sustained over a full campaign. Hull secured promotion through the play-offs and have strengthened heavily, signing 11 players. Backed by their home supporters, they will hope to make life difficult for a United side recovering from a 4-2 pre-season defeat to AC Milan. United have the stronger squad on paper, with Bruno Fernandes, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Amad Diallo expected to lead the attack. However, Hull's energy and United's opening-day pressure could make this a tougher fixture than it appears.
