Answer
Hull City won 2–0
Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was played at Hull’s home ground on Saturday, 22 August 2026. Hull were newly promoted, while Manchester United had finished third in the previous Premier League season.
The result was one of the opening round’s biggest surprises because a promoted club defeated an established giant without conceding. It also gave Hull an ideal return to the top division.
Hull’s goals came from Adebayo Ajayi and Nobel Mendy. Mendy scored on his Premier League debut, while the result marked a difficult opening for United under manager Michael Carrick. The fixture was the first Saturday lunchtime match of the new season.
