Hull City made a dream return to the Premier League after a nine-year absence, beating Manchester United 2-0 on Saturday to puncture any preseason optimism surrounding the 20-time champions. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
First-half goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy at set-pieces consigned United to a tepid loss. The match took place in Kingston upon Hull, England.
Hull was promoted via the second-tier Championship playoffs at the end of last season. This was the team's first game in the top flight in nine years.
