Today Man united game with hull City was so disappointing, even in my last dream can't believe Man united will made themselves so cheap to be wired two nils at their first game after resting for quite a period of time, what pains me over this game is the confidence I have on them as team that leads me to pick them in my slip while carryout my gambling. Though it's too early to judge how the season will look as the game just start but this style of their game is not impressing if they refuse to adjust because more bigger team than Hull city will rubbish them more.

From what I noticed in the match was that, manchester united didn't coordinate their defense well. It isn't like hull city played better, manchester united were up and ahead of them with goals opportunities but hull could utilise their opportunities well,they made  every strike worth the shot. Manchester United defence was the problem but I think Carrick will make all the necessary corrections that lead to their defeat to ensure that it doesn't lead to a defeat in their second game. Hull city shouldn't feel like they are now invincible because they defeated Manchester united. The season is just getting started, so it is not a big deal for the red devil.

It was unexpected that Hull City were able to make Manchester United not move at all. United were 2-0 down despite fans optimism of a strong start to the season, the team looked dismissive of their opponents who had just been promoted to the Premier League. Carrick will have to be wary, as he will have trouble catching up if opponents continue to maintain an aggressive tempo of play in the second half.

New season, old story of this unchanging Manchester United that never fails to disappoint their lovely football fans.

I heard some Manchester United fans towards the end of last season saying that if Michael Carrick had started the league season with them, they would have won the league or they would have been up there competing for it,

But with a bad start like this, I do not think that what will happen cause they might find them self fighting to qualify for a place in europe, instead of the league title, if they do not improve more than what I saw today.

I said it before that I’m not confident in the current Manchester United squad. Didn’t you watched the rubbish game they played in the first half? Michael Carrick is trying to switch Dorgu from left back to left forward, and I don’t think that will be enough to go far this season. Manchester United was confused throughout the match. They signed Santos to replace Casemiro in the midfield, but from what I saw today, it will be difficult for him to replace Casemiro in the midfield.

I was very disappointed with their performance. In the last game, Manchester United were dominated by Amorim and everyone was saying it was a preseason game, we shouldn’t use that to judge them, but look at how they performed against a newly promoted team. If Manchester United can play badly in the league game, I wonder how they will play in the Champions League.

Lol, Manchester United started off the season by falling into a relegation zone, this was a clear thrashing that no one expected of even most Manchester United fans would bet they wouldn't lose this game let alone conceding two goals in that game. This is really a bad start off to be honest because conceding two goals in the hands of Hull city is actually strange to me seeing how wonderful they ended last season, if at all it was to be a rivalry team then it would have been quite understandable, than this humiliating defeat.

Most of the teams in the league have started the season with their highest performance. In terms of club strength, Man United is on the list of the top strongest clubs in the league. Man United is on the list due to good players and performance. Why did they play the opening match of the season so lightly? United lost today's match due to the messy performance of the defense and midfield. Despite having possession of the ball for a long time, they lost the ball at important moment. United's defense could not clear the ball properly during corner kicks. United controlled the ball for most of the match and attacked several times. The fact that United could not score a single goal seemed more disappointing to me. I think the coach should learn from the mistakes he made today and correct himself very quickly.

We all know and realize that Manchester United’s performance has indeed declined, but i didn’t expect them to lose to a team like Hull City. They had a great chance to win, but they were unable to capitalize on the momentum to score when the opportunity arose. In contrast, Hull City played more effectively in finding openings to score, the Hull City team was very lucky. This loss is a major blow to Manchester United, they’ve immediately disappointed their fans. Since the season is still long and many matches lie ahead, let’s hope they can perform better.

Man this was quite shocking, who would have thought United would have started with a lost playing against Hull City, a promoted team at that.

Manchester United still need to do something about their attack and they haven't done anything much yet, this definitely may cause others to question if Carrick might be the right one and it's expected.

Manchester United were defeated by newly promoted Hull City, however in this match we noticed that Manchester United were weak in all departments because the Hull City players showed great attacking skills and I noticed one of their players scored from a corner in the 17th minute and in the 38th minute, another player scored a goal with a powerful header to lead his team to victory in their first match in the Premier League of the 2026/27 season.

We were waiting to see Marcos Rashford's performance in this match because he performed brilliantly on loan at Barcelona last season and wore the number nine jersey for Manchester United against Hull City in this match but He came on as a substitute but could not make up for Man United's two-goal deficit in this match.

Man United could not score a single goal due to some of their poor passing. If they do not pay attention to these issues now, the next matches will be difficult and disappointing for them. In my opinion, their performance is deteriorating day by day. If this is not corrected, Man United may lose their losses. Even after conceding 2 goals, they could not score a single goal against the opposing team, so is their quality of play the same as before? Their quality of play has deteriorated. I think they should give new players a chance in their team now.

Whether we like it or not, a time will come when they will question him. You can't raise people's expectations and not live up to them. That's how the premier league works. And the sad thing about having too many fans with high expectations is that they are quick to criticise whenever the results doesn't go their way. Do you think the attack is just the problem?, I personally think there's more to that.

For a manager who wants to rebuild a team from scratch_{(if that's what he wants to do)}, he has to start work on the entire section of the team including the Midfield and Defence. Imagine having high expectations for a manager who plans on using Maguire and Heaven to compete in the UCL and other 3 major competitions... Is that not too much to ask for?. Well, let me just assume that they're yet to find their rhythm for the season, even though losing to a newly promoted side is actually a shameful one.

[Balmain]

Congratulations to Acun Ilıcalı and the Hull City team! Getting promoted to the Premier League was already a huge achievement. And in their first match, they beat Manchester United 2-0. Hull City's victory against Manchester United will be talked about for weeks to come. I see Acun Ilıcalı constantly commenting on social media he can't be proud enough, it's a huge success to get promoted and then beat United. If you underestimate your opponents like that, you'll be talked about for weeks.

I think it's too early for us to conclude on this Man United performance but still I won't say Carrick has lost it because this same Dorgu position you are complaining about was the same one he used towards the end of the season where Dorgu was performing excellent, I think he even scored a goal. It just felt list the whole Man United team was not It, kudos to Fernades, he is the only Man United player I can say didn't lose today. But Man United will get better, Santos needs more time to adjust to his new role.

The attack is not the problem. All United's players on the pitch were poor. Dorgu struggled, Cunha was absent, and Tielemans, Santos, and Fernandez also failed to make an impact. I don't want to conclude yet, but it seems the Santos and Tielemans partnership is not working. United played well in the preseason, when Mount and Santos partnered together. Since the injury, the midfield has been struggling. Even Carrick had to sub both midfielders in the second half and brought in Mainoo to partner with Fernandez. It's the same disappointing performance United put up against AC Milan in the last preseason game, but it was downplayed as a friendly match, and now it has repeated itself.

In as much as I'm more disappointed at Manchester United performance in today's game against Hull City, I still want us to understand that, it's only the beginning of the new season and you guys are already talking like ones who has given up on Manchester United and Michael Carrick already, remember Manchester United equally lost their first match last season, so let's just go easy on Micheal Carrick before he lose focus, we still have a very long season, this is just the beginning of it, or better still let's wait for their second match, then we can judge.

Hull City shouldn't be a problem by now, but they couldn't score a single goal against them. It's funny that Manchester United dominated the game but couldn't win, which is just surprising, so I expect something different. Their defense and fielding are a problem, but I assume they weren't even creative during the game. I just expected everything to be different because their supporters had so much faith in them this season. Given that they lost to Hull City, it would be preferable if everything went according to plan since we are hoping they can win; we have that expectation from the start, so it would be better if we just agreed that they will perform better the next time. I saw the disappointment in the face of the fans.

It was a shocking defeat for Manchester United. Despite dominating the match, they couldn't find a goal and ended up losing their opening game of the season.

Ipswich Town also made a good start by beating Sunderland 2–1 at home.

This the beginning of the season for sure but Manchester United lossing to hull city that got promoted to premier League newly, shows that Manchester United has a very weak squad. There was so much expectations from many people that Manchester United was going to start this season with an incredible performance. Lossing to hull city is something that will make people to lose hopes in there performance this season. Michael Carrick, really need to work on his team if they can defeat hull city them what will happen when they meet a formidable club maybe in champions League. For me am really disappointed with Manchester United performance with was never what I expected from the club this season.

Irrespective of the outcome of today’s game, I still don’t think it’s enough to determine Manchester United or Michael Carrick’s fate, I guess some fans were overzealous and got carried away by the exploits of Man U at the end of last season but that’s not to say they won’t do well now.
Hull City really surprised us and Manchester United fans by winning 2:0, it’s no small defeat and surely a result that has caused bettors some funds.

The newly promoted sides have stared well, only Coventry City lost to Arsenal yesterday; Hull City won against Manchester United, and Ipswich Town won against Sunderland.

I think they have started well, they have learned from some mistakes other promoted teams usually make when the season starts, losing matches at the beginning of the season will discourage them and will make them look average which can lead them to losing so many points; but starting with wins against stronger teams can be a boost to their confidence to be able to accumulate some points before the season gets tough.

This issue of poor coordination in the defense line made me asked why Micheal Carrick decided to bench alizandro matinez when we all know he is one of the best coordinating defenders of Manchester United today.
The problem of Manchester United started from the midfield,  at first the midfield was poor in stopping pressure and that was among the reasons they conceded 2 goals but changed when kobi maino was introduced.
Although I will say they played a nice game but needs more improvement in there next game.

[Stavri]

No doubt, arsenal are in form and are trying their best to win the league back to back with the current form, they have the potential of winning the league again this season but one this with premier league that I like that that the competition is very high, a team may be performing well and in the long run reduce their level of performance and a team can be seen as not winning the league or even better in the top 10 but at the end will pick form at the right time and do well to win the league or finish as top 5. but in the case of arsenal. they have been improving over the years and are able to win the league last season. congratulations to them and they can do it again this season.

Arsenal has become an incredible team. they already had the best defense in the world. this year, even if they built a lineup using only their defenders, they’d easily make the top 6...
Trossard left but for a £34m transfer fee and a £4.6m annual salary, they brought in Tzolis i think he is ten times the player Trossard was.

The newly promoted teams Hull City and Ipswich Town both started the Premier League with wins.

Emphasis on the Hull City game, this is the best match for today, apparently the best match for week 1 of the Premier League season.

This is a signal Hull City are sending to us, they are not ready to return to relegation, after spending over a decade not participating in the Premier League, their first win of the season is a perfect way to begin the season, a set motivation for the remaining games.

Manchester United disappointed, Carrick has to go back to his draft table, as things didn't go as he hoped, today was a failure.
