Carrick's Debut vs Hull City | Manchester United News

Manchester United kicks off their 2026-27 Premier League season with a tough away test against newly-promoted Hull City — Michael Carrick’s first full managerial campaign. Despite Mason Mount’s injury absence, United bolstered midfield with Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, and are eyeing Carlos Baleba from Brighton. Hull, fresh off Championship playoff glory, aims to survive top-flight pressure, banking on any points against giants like United. The match at MKM Stadium on Aug. 22 at 12:30 PM will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1 & Ultimate (starting 11 AM) or streamed via Discovery+. Hull’s lineup is depleted, missing key defenders and goalkeeper Jack Butland, while United’s Sesko is back training but unlikely to start, and de Ligt remains sidelined until October. Expect a gritty, low-scoring clash as Hull fights for survival and United seeks to set the tone under Carrick. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
