Hull City recorded its first-ever Premier League win over Manchester United in the 2026–27 opening weekend.
Hull defeated Manchester United 2–0 at the MKM Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. Semi Ajayi scored first and Nobel Mendy added the second, both before half-time, as Hull began its return to the top flight with a landmark result.
The victory ended Hull’s previous Premier League record against Manchester United without a win. Before this match, Hull had drawn twice and lost eight of its 10 earlier Premier League meetings with the Red Devils, making the result a major historical change in the fixture.
Hull’s identity can be confused with the other promoted clubs in the opening round. Coventry played Arsenal, Ipswich played Sunderland and Leeds visited Nottingham Forest. None of those clubs faced Manchester United in Matchweek 1.
