The highlights were packed into the first half. Ajayi put Hull in front after 16 minutes and an update said Harry Maguire and Noussair Mazraoui were involved in a mix-up in the build-up to that opening goal. United's afternoon became more awkward when Dorgu went into the book on 33:53, and Hull punished them again three minutes later when Mendy finished to double the score with Slater credited for the assist.
Matt Crooks picked up a Hull yellow card on 41 minutes, but the home side reached the break 2-0 up and never let the result slip. Michael Carrick turned to his bench at halftime, sending on Rashford for Dorgu, then later introduced Benjamin Sesko, Kobbie Mainoo, Diogo Dalot and Shea Lacey as United searched for a way back.
Hull responded with changes of their own, bringing on Lucas Herrington, Paddy McNair, Cody Drameh, Liam Millar and Matt Targett through the second half. Millar was booked at 90 minutes, but there was no late twist. That is the clean summary: two first-half goals, no reply, and a strong start for Hull, who finish the day fourth while Manchester United sit 18th after one game.
