Hull City - Manchester United
Hull City v Manchester United: season opens at the MKM
Hull City begin life back in the Premier League when Manchester United visit the MKM Stadium on Saturday lunchtime. Both clubs enter the opening weekend on 0 points, as does the rest of the division.
Opening-day form
Neither side carries much momentum into the new campaign. Hull's last five recent matches produced two wins, two draws and one defeat; Manchester United's record across the same span is identical. Hull drew 0-0 in their most recent outing, while Manchester United lost 2-4.
Hull are one game from the Premier League was published in May. Hull land Salzburg midfielder on four-year deal followed during the summer window.
Recent meetings
The five most recent head-to-head meetings contain 6 goals in total. Hull won one, lost two and drew twice. The sequence includes a 2-1 Hull win and a 0-0 draw, both from early 2017. A win on Saturday would take Hull to 3 points from 1 played; a draw would leave them on 1 point. The same arithmetic applies to Manchester United.
