Nobel Mendy scored Hull City’s second goal in their 2–0 win over Manchester United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Hull City hosted Manchester United at the MKM Stadium on 22 August 2026. The newly promoted Tigers produced one of the round’s most notable results by defeating United without conceding.
Semi Ajayi scored Hull’s opener in the first half, while Mendy added the second before the interval. Remembering the order matters: Ajayi opened the scoring, but Mendy supplied the goal that established the final 2–0 margin.
The result was especially significant because Hull had just returned to the Premier League. It gave the club three points against one of England’s most recognisable teams and made the promoted side an immediate talking point of Matchweek 1.
