Hull City vs Manchester United: Selected Pre-Match Opta Facts
Man Utd boss Michael Carrick has won four of his six managerial meetings with Hull City in all competitions (D1 L1), and is unbeaten in his three visits to the MKM Stadium (W2 D1). Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic is set to become the first ever Bosnian to manage a team in the Premier League, the 28th different nationality to do so. None of the last eight ‘new’ nationality managers have won their opening match (D3 L5), with Chilean Manuel Pellegrini the last to do so in August 2013. Hull City were promoted via the play-offs in last season’s Championship, despite having the fifth-fewest shots (515), third-most shots faced (681), and second-lowest xG difference (-20.6) of all 24 sides in the regular season. Indeed, they are the first side to be promoted to the Premier League after finishing 6th in the Championship since Blackpool in 2010. So far in the Premier League in 2026, Manchester United have earned the most points (41), won the joint-most games (12, level with Arsenal), and scored the most goals (36), while only Bournemouth (1) have lost fewer games in the division this calendar year so far than the Red Devils (2). Bruno Fernandes set a new record for most assists in a single Premier League campaign last season with 21. With nine goals as well, he was the first Manchester United player to be involved in 30+ goals in two different Premier League campaigns (also 30 in 2020-21). Bryan Mbeumo has been directly involved in 17 goals in his last 12 Premier League starts against newly promoted opposition (9 goals, 8 assists). Marcus Rashford has been named in the Man Utd squad for the first time since 30th December 2024, when he was an unused sub against Newcastle.Enjoy this?
