Hull face an injury crisis with up to nine first-team players potentially missing, including former Manchester United goalkeeper Jack Butland, who had arm surgery after a pre-season injury, plus Oscar Zambrano and Darko Gyabi. United are without Manuel Ugarte after his World Cup injury, while Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt may be unavailable. Benjamin Sesko is pushing to be involved after a shin injury late last season.
Head-to-head record
In nine previous competitive meetings, Manchester United have won six times, scoring 18 goals. Hull have never beaten United in a Premier League match, though they won the second leg of the League Cup semi-final in January 2017, with current United defender Harry Maguire in the Hull side that night. The last league meeting, in February 2017, ended 0-0.
