Hull fans go ballistic after stadium announcement aimed at Man Utd fans

Hull City made a perfect start to their Premier League return as they beat the 20-time English top-flight champions, Manchester United, 2-0 at home.

Goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy ensured that the Tigers’ fans returned home happy after their side earned their first ever win in the Premier League against the Red Devils.

Michael Carrick will have a lot to think about throughout the week as his side prepare to face Ipswich Town next time out, especially after the club equalled an unwanted record with this defeat.

United have now lost their opening fixture in consecutive league seasons for the first time since 1972-73 and 1973-74, with the Red Devils getting relegated in the latter.

Supporters of the three-time Champions League winners will be hopeful that their side does not suffer the same fate at the end of this campaign.

While this was a disappointing start to the campaign for United, it was not the end of the bad news for the club’s supporters.

In the 73rd minute, the announcer at MKM Stadium relayed the news that trains had been cancelled from the station from Hull back to Manchester, making the day worse for the fans of United.

However, the reaction from the home fans was different as they all cheered at the announcement, as they were all too happy to enjoy the news and poke further fun at the United supporters following their tough day watching Carrick’s side.

The victory ensured Hull improved their record in the Premier League when it comes to opening-day fixtures as they secured their fourth in six; only Man United and Blackpool have a better win ratio in their opening game.

Hull will now turn their attention to Stoke City in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday before attempting to build on this victory in the next round of Premier League fixtures when they travel to the reigning Championship title holders, Coventry City.
