Manchester United will begin their 2026-27 Premier League campaign away against newly promoted Hull City on Saturday at the MKM Stadium.
The match marks the beginning of Michael Carrick's first full season as Manchester United's permanent manager. Carrick took over on a caretaker basis last season before being appointed permanently after guiding United to a third-place finish and Champions League qualification.
His side will now look to carry that momentum into the new Premier League campaign. The opening fixture, however, comes with some selection concerns, as the Red Devils are dealing with injuries to several first-team players ahead of the Hull clash, with Carrick expected to rely on a reshaped squad.
According to talkSPORT's predicted line-up, Carrick could continue with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with new arrivals, such as Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, potentially playing important roles in midfield. Bruno Fernandes is expected to remain central to United's attacking plans.
Hull City enter the fixture as one of the newly promoted sides in the 2026-27 Premier League season. Hull will have home advantage at the MKM Stadium and will be hoping to make an immediate impression after securing promotion.
