Hull vs Man Utd LIVE Getty Arthur Ferridge , Sports Reporter @ ArthurFerridge 3 minutes ago Hull vs Manchester United LIVE!

Manchester United kick off the new Premier League season with a lunchtime trip to Hull. It’s the second game on opening weekend after champions Arsenal cruised past Coventry to begin their title defence, with another newly-promoted team now facing a daunting first assignment at the MKM Stadium. Michael Carrick officially begins his reign as permanent Man Utd boss today after a successful interim spell in charge and will want a fast start after a dispiriting end to pre-season.

Marcus Rashford could make his first competitive Manchester United appearance since December 2024 after being handed the No9 shirt, while there are expected to be debuts for new signings Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. Benjamin Sesko is pushing to return from injury, though it will be a little while before fans see Carlos Baleba in action. Hull are already battling selection issues as they embark upon their first top-flight campaign for a decade, with a raft of absentees including new signings Jack Butland, Oscar Zambrano and Joe Gelhardt, plus Charlie Hughes.

The odds are firmly stacked against the Championship play-off winners this term and Sergej Jakirovic will be eager to prove the doubters wrong. Follow Hull vs Man Utd live below!

Today’s starting lineups, the first of the campaign for either club, will be released at 11.15am BST.

Will Rashford get the nod? How will Hull shape up for their return to the top flight? How many debuts are on the cards?

One player who won’t be involved for Manchester United just yet is Carlos Baleba.

The Cameroon midfielder is expected to undergo a medical at United this weekend after a deal was agreed with Brighton on Friday evening worth an initial £65m, plus a further £5m in add-ons.

However, it could be around a month before Baleba is in a position to play for his new club as he nurses an ankle ligament injury suffered during pre-season.
