Hull vs Man Utd - Premier League Betting Tips (22/08/2026)

Hull City will welcome Manchester United to the MKM Stadium in the first round of games in the new Premier League season. United are favourites at 1.44 with bet365, with Hull available at 6.25 to cause an early upset. The draw can be backed at 4.50.

We expect this to go the way of United, who will be keen to show more progress this season under Michael Carrick. They have made some strong additions to their squad and should have too much for Hull.

Reasons to Follow this Bet

• Man Utd looked strong at the end of the previous season and have added some good additions to the squad.

• Hull City could take time to adapt to the quality of the Premier League after arriving from the Championship. It is normally better to catch newly-promoted teams early in the season before they have time to settle.

• Man Utd have won 12 of the last 15 meetings between these two teams.

Hull vs Man Utd - Team News

Hull could hand debuts to new signings Jack Butland, Abdülkadir Ömür, and Abu Kamara. Goalkeeper Butland has loads of experience after coming in from Rangers. Liam Miller and Ryan Giles should bring creativity down the left flank. Ollie McBurnie will need to hold off a challenge from new arrival Enis Destan to lead the line.

United bolstered their midfield with the signings of Yuri Tielemans from Aston Villa and Andre Santos from Chelsea. Both could start in this opening fixture but will have to hold off the challenge of Kobie Mainoo. Cunha and Mbeumo should start if fit with the bigger question about where they fit in the system. Cunha could play as the central striker or deeper should Benjamin Sesko be preferred.

Hull vs Man Utd Line-ups

Hull: Butland - Ajayi, Egan, Hughes - Coyle, Slater, Ömür, Giles - Kamara, Liam Millar - McBurnie.

Man Utd: Lammens - Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw - Santos, Tielemans - Mbeumo, Fernandes, Cunha - Sesko.
