Hull City defeats Manchester United 2-0 as Semi Ajayi suffers injury
Newly promoted Hull City secured a 2-0 Premier League victory against Manchester United at the MKM Stadium. Semi Ajayi opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a header from a corner. Nobel Mendy doubled the lead before half-time with a header following a free-kick from Regan Slater.
Despite the win, Hull City faces selection concerns as manager Sergej Jakirovic confirmed that Semi Ajayi suffered a hamstring injury during the match. Ajayi was substituted in the 64th minute and is awaiting further medical assessment. Jakirovic also noted fitness issues regarding Nobel Mendy's adductor and other defensive players.
Ajayi was voted Man of the Match, receiving 38.9% of the vote. The result marks a successful start to the campaign for Hull City, while Manchester United, led by head coach Michael Carrick, will look to respond in their next fixture against Ipswich Town.
