Manchester United will aim to spoil Hull City's return to the Premier League when the two sides meet at the MKM Stadium this afternoon.
Hull are back in English football's top flight after nine consecutive seasons in the Championship, having beaten Middlesbrough in the play-off final at Wembley three months ago. Sergej Jakirovic's side have been handed a daunting opening fixture.
United's form and team news
Manchester United enjoyed a strong run of form in the second half of last season as Michael Carrick guided the club to Champions League qualification and secured the head coach role on a permanent basis. The hard work to challenge for the Premier League title begins here, and anything other than an away win will be considered a surprise, even if Carrick has attempted to play down the favourites tag.
Plenty of debuts are expected for both sides, with United poised to unleash a new-look midfield including summer signings Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. The Red Devils have never lost to Hull in the Premier League, though they were victorious in defeat on their last visit to Kingston upon Hull in January 2017, progressing 3-2 on aggregate in a Carabao Cup semi-final.
