Nobel Mendy scored on his Premier League debut for Hull City against Manchester United during the 2026–27 opening weekend.
Mendy scored Hull’s second goal in their 2–0 victory at MKM Stadium on 22 August 2026. The defender headed in a precise free-kick delivered by Regan Slater seven minutes before half-time.
The goal completed an outstanding first-half display for Hull, who had already taken the lead through Semi Ajayi. It also helped the promoted club begin its first Premier League campaign in nine years with three points.
Mendy was described as Hull’s club-record signing, making his immediate impact particularly notable. He should not be confused with veteran defender Benjamin Mendy or with Slater, whose delivery created the goal. The scoreline remained 2–0 through the second half.
