Commentary
The full-time whistle goes, and Hull make a dream start in their return to the Premier League with a 2-0 win over Manchester United. First-half goals from centre-back duo Ajayi and Mendy were enough to see the Tigers claim their first-ever victory over United in the Premier League on a dismal afternoon for the visitors. Ajayi got Hull going on 17 minutes when he latched onto a loose ball in the box with a close-range finish. Mendy then doubled his side's lead on the 38-minute mark when he fired home from Slater's free-kick on his Premier League debut. In truth, United never really looked like mounting a comeback on what was a concerning afternoon for Carrick and co. Hull recorded 1.26 xG in total across the 90 minutes, compared to United's 1.81, and the hosts now look to a trip to Stoke City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday. Meanwhile, United prepare to face Ipswich Town next Sunday as they look to put today's stunning upset behind them. That's all for this one, thanks for joining us!
FULL-TIME: HULL CITY 2-0 MANCHESTER UNITED

Hull's Millar is shown a yellow card for simulation down the right-hand side. Not his proudest moment.
The United possession continues, but they still don't look remotely close to scoring. This has been a really concerning performance from the visitors.
Rashford crosses into the box towards Sesko, who gets up to greet the ball with his head, but Egan is there once again with a block before it bobbles into the hands of Tzolakis. Egan has been outstanding for his side today.
United's passing has been so slow and laboured this afternoon. They've hardly threatened the Hull backline.
