Hull City in the driver’s seat as it meets Manchester United

Hull City and Manchester United both seek their third successive win the English Premier League this season, but the Red Devils start as favourites.

Super-confident Ibrahimovic is on fire with a double on his home debut against Southampton lifting the roof off Old Trafford and taking his Premier League tally to three.

Phelan went on to compare Ibrahimovic’s presence at United to that of Eric Cantona in the mid-1990s, as he suggested the experienced forward could be a talisman in their push for success this season.

Phelan compared United’s move to bring in the 34-year-old Ibrahimovic to their recruitment of Eric Cantona in 1992. Yet under caretaker boss, Mike Phelan who both played and coached at Manchester United, the depleted squad have made a great start back in the top flight.

With Hull’s Allan McGregor facing fitness problems and back-up Eldin Jakupovic rather unconvincing, Hull have scope to bring in a new custodian and there aren’t many better than Marshall outside the Premier League.

The Swedish legend has been in excellent form for his new club after a summer transfer from Ligue 1 holders PSG.

They managed to beat the champions 2 – 1. They are above Hull City on goal difference. In fact, Hull is one of the four teams to carry a 100% record during the first two games of the season. The Tigers’ last victory over United came back in November 1974 (2-0).

This weekend, Manchester United will be looking to make it nine-points-from-nine against Hull City, and while many analysts expected this fixture to be the easiest of United’s opening triumvirate, it is slowly looking like the hardest.

The Sport Review’s Tipster correctly predicted a 2-0 victory for United over Southampton last week. He didn’t feature much for France in the European Championship, and also hasn’t caught the eye in Man United’s opening few games. Exclusively due to quality up front, I expect United to grab a win and cement their place at the top of the table, proving in the process that Hull isn’t another Leicester City. Here is all the information as Hull welcome Manchester United to the KCOM Stadium.

“It’s live on the television and we have to enjoy occasions like this”, Elmohamady said. See websites for full T&Cs.

At White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur host Liverpool in a clash between two clubs hoping to gatecrash the Manchester duopoly at the top of the table. And while the Spanish global has done enough to suggest he will be a feature of United’s potential title charge, he has spoken of the importance of doing more to get the fans back on-side after the disappointment of the Louis van Gaal era.
