Carrick's First Test: United vs Hull | Manchester United News

Manchester United kicks off their Premier League season with high stakes against newly promoted Hull City—Michael Carrick’s first full year in charge, and the pressure’s on after a third-place finish and Champions League return. A win would be a statement. Key absences include de Ligt (back), Ugarte (knee, likely out for most of the season), and Heaton. Mason Mount’s fitness is uncertain, while Seško’s return is still in doubt. Midfield gets a fresh look with Tielemans and Santos—Santos, a £50M star, impressed in pre-season; Tielemans played 90 minutes in their last friendly. Defense features Ayden Heaven alongside Maguire, with Martínez and Mainoo as bench options. Up front, Mbeumo leads the line, flanked by Amad Diallo and Cunha, with Bruno Fernandes orchestrating from midfield. Senne Lammens starts between the posts. Kickoff: Saturday, August 22nd, 12:30 PM.
