Hull City 2-0 Man Utd LIVE – United beaten by newly promoted side in opening game

“It’s disappointing, of course it is,” said the Man Utd boss. “We came here to win so to not take anything away is hugely disappointing. It’s not more than that, it’s not less than that.

“We accept it. We got beat, we’re hurt and it’s not a nice feeling. It doesn’t mean we’re going to change the whole direction of where we’re going as a team and a football club. It’s just one game. Results can happen and we understand that. It’s not nice when they do, but they do happen.”

“This is a tricky question,” Jakirovic answered when asked if he expected more from United. “I can speak just about my team.

“Of course we watched Man United. We saw their problems and we tried to use this.”

“It feels excellent, I’m very happy,” said Hull boss Sergej Jakirovic. “Very, very pleased with them.

“It’s a big boost for us, for the future. I have to convince my players that we are capable to play on this level. We showed last season we are mentally strong and can compete with everyone. Maybe this is the key.”
