United Stung by Set-Piece Defeat | MLS News

Manchester United suffered a shocking Premier League opener loss to newly promoted Hull City, conceding two set-piece goals in the first half — a historic first for the club. Despite a spirited second half featuring Marcus Rashford’s return, they couldn’t turn things around. Manager Michael Carrick kept his composure publicly while admitting internal disappointment, stressing patience and process over panic. Captain Bruno Fernandes was blunt, blaming repeated errors from last season — especially poor away-game aggression and set-piece vulnerability — and criticizing their lack of efficiency with possession. He insists the focus must now shift to fixing these issues ahead of their next match against Ipswich Town, while Carrick remains committed to steady progress, rejecting drastic changes after one game.
