After an unexpected defeat to Hull City, Alan Shearer criticized Manchester United's attacking display as "terrible."

Premier League legend Shearer said on Match of the Day: "It doesn't matter whether Hull City plays with three, four, or five at the back. The issue is that Manchester United was absolutely terrible, especially in attack. They couldn't do anything."

Shearer added: "From the first minute, I thought one team would win the match. You could see their power. You could see their intensity.

"That's concerning. You know what to expect from a newly promoted team playing away from home. Manchester United should have at least matched their intensity. But they couldn't do that, and they couldn't compete with Hull City either."

Manchester United fielded Matheus Cunha as a striker, Bryan Mbeumo on the right wing, Patric Dorgu on the left wing, and Roger Fernandes in the number 10 position. Rashford, who was loaned out to Barcelona last season and is wearing the number 9 shirt this season, was substituted at halftime, and Benjamin Sesko was brought on in the 66th minute. Zirkzee did not get playing time.

Michael Carrick was appointed as Manchester United's permanent manager in May after an impressive interim stint. He appeared unruffled facing this defeat.

Carrick said: "We don't need to panic or make a fuss because of this loss. Everyone at the club is disappointed. The players know it too. We need to do better."

However, Roger Fernandes appeared increasingly frustrated, telling Turner Sports in an interview: "It's the same mistakes as last season. Every away match is like this."

Hull City manager Sergei Yakirovich believes that confidence will be key for his team's success this season.

Hull City last played at this level in 2017. Before the season began, many believed the team could be immediately relegated to the Championship, but Carrick's Manchester United accepted the role of away side. Júnior Ajayi gave Hull City the lead with a goal in the 17th minute, and Noble Mendy extended the advantage with a header in the 38th minute.

Yakirovich hopes this victory will boost the team's confidence. Before the season started, the team decided to challenge the doubters' lack of faith in them. He said: "The players gave everything on the pitch today, exactly as we agreed before the match. We worked on these things all week, and it paid off today. I'm very pleased about that."

Yakirovich added: "This victory will be a huge boost for our future. We've been talking all week about the chance to win. That could be crucial. Because I need to make the players believe we have the quality to compete at this level."

Yakirovich said: "Last season we were mentally very strong and showed we could compete with any opponent. That's important."

"This victory is incredible. Because now the players believe they can compete at this level."

Yakirovich also believes this victory will help Hull City attract players in the transfer market. He added: "They will come now, 100%. I have no doubt about that."
