Hull City vs Man United

This is a high-stakes season opener for Hull City in their return to the top flight. While United finished last season strongly (W4, D1), the departure of Rasmus Højlund and the loaning of André Onana represents a significant tactical shift. Michael Carrick’s side will focus on ball retention to silence the home crowd.
