NATHAN SALT AT THE MKM STADIUM: Manchester United's new season optimism was extinguished across a bruising 90 minutes in which newly-promoted Hull City ran out deserved 2-0 winners. Hull City have been widely predicted to go straight back down to the Championship‚ but they did a job on Michael Carrick's United side here‚ who never looked at it from the first minute. Goals from centre backs Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy separated the sides but by the final whistle there was no dispute on who the better team was.
CHRIS WHEELER AT THE MKM STADIUM: Well‚ Michael Carrick did say it was ridiculous to suggest Manchester United had been given an easy start to the season away at Hull City.

CHRIS WHEELER: Michael Carrick says it's 'ridiculous' to suggest Manchester United have been handed an easy start to the season - and admits it's asking a lot for his team to be considered title challengers. United kick off the campaign at Hull City on Saturday lunchtime followed by a first home game against another of the newly-promoted teams‚ Ipswich Town‚ at Old Trafford the following week. But Carrick has rejected claims that United have been given an easy ride‚ saying: 'There are no favourable starts. It's an easy thing to throw out there but pretty ridiculous.
Carrick's strong start to life in the United dugout has led to a groundswell of optimisim among fans that he can oversee the club's first league title since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013. However‚ Liverpool legend Carragher has urged caution ahead of the 2026-27 Premier League season.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has urged his former club to gazump Atletico Madrid's £34million move for Cristian Romero‚ despite branding the Tottenham captain a 'nutcase' and 'absolute clown' in his sales pitch.

Meanwhile‚ the Red Devils are eagerly exploring options to bolster Michael Carrick's squad ahead of the new campaign‚ which will see United compete in the Champions League after finishing third in the Premier League last season.
NATHAN SALT: Manchester United have plenty of reasons to smile after holding European champions Paris Saint-Germain to a 1-1 draw in Gothenburg. Similarly to the win over Atletico Madrid in Stockholm‚ United made the worst possible start when PSG went ahead through Ibrahim Mbaye 101 seconds following a fast-break that totally caught Michael Carrick's side on their heels. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stung the palms of Tom Heaton‚ who was later forced off with a hamstring problem‚ moments later but was denied‚ before United put their foot on the accelerator to prove themselves as the better side.
