Losing at Hull: A One-Off or a Sign of Bigger Problems? | Man Utd State of Play w/ Adam Joseph

from The Promised Land | A Manchester United Podcast · host Scott Saunders

Manchester United's 2-0 defeat at Hull was a dreadful start to the new season — but was it simply one bad performance, or did it expose deeper problems that could follow United throughout the campaign? Adam Joseph joins the podcast for another Man Utd State of Play as we revisit the opening day defeat with a little more distance and assess what we actually learned from Michael Carrick's side. We discuss United's lack of physicality, the tactical issues Hull were able to exploit, concerns over the balance of the team and whether the attitude underneath it all is the main concern. Plus, what Carrick got wrong, how much responsibility falls on the players and what needs to change quickly as United look to prove Hull was a one-off rather than a warning of what's to come.
