Manchester United begin their Premier League season with a 2-0 defeat at promoted Hull. Multiple outlets describe the loss as a humiliating, dismal start, with United failing to overcome Hull in the season opener.

Yahoo Sports adds context about early-season scheduling, noting that the trip to Hull is followed by a home match against Ipswich, another promoted team. Yahoo also reports that midfielder Michael Carrick responds to suggestions that United have been given an easy run, saying the Hull game does not support that claim. The other sources focus mainly on the result itself and the perceived severity of the setback, without adding further tactical or off-field detail.

Overall, the outlets agree on the outcome, the opponent being Hull as a promoted side, and the opening-match timing, while differing primarily in how much they emphasize subsequent fixtures and player comments.
