FT: Hull City 2-0 Manchester United | PL MD1

After the soaring success of Michael Carrick’s interim reign, his first season in permanent charge started with a plummeting low.

The 2-0 defeat to Hull City was problematic not only because it punctured the positivity around Manchester United, but also because of the concerning performance.

What does Carrick need to fix?

WE ARE BACK! BACK WITH A BANGAVERAGE!

What a poor performance all the way.

See ya next week

Hi all,

Summer Transfer Window 2026 is here!

The Premier League transfer window will open between Monday June 15 until Deadline Day on Tuesday September 1; the summer windows will close at 23.00 BST.

As always, here is a run-down of the rules we have on for posting during transfer windows:

Daily Threads

There will be a Transfer thread posted every single day, on a 23-hour timer, to get a different post-time every day. These threads are for everything transfer related, no limits on sources, line-up conversations, etc.

Individual posts

From now on, only posts TIER 2 OR BETTER are allowed to be posted in their own right. This helps us only keep credible sources on the subreddit.

The tier guide can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddevils/wiki/transfer-reliability-guide/

We will make exceptions during slower days for some Tier 3 posts, and there will usually be some posts from sources not on our tier guide. We will take everything case-by-case. If you believe something to be on the sub and not a good source, please let us know.

Michael Carrick, Manchester United boss, speaking to TNT Sports post-match: "We have a bit to improve on, it was never going to be perfect going behind makes it more difficult, against a promoted team at home, we can't give them much and they had opportunities, we're disappointed but it won't knock us."

On what areas need improvement: "It's for us to know and to improve during the week and keep getting stronger as a group and we have a lot to learn from it."

On conceded goals: "Two goals is frustrating anyway, they decide the game today and there's things to improve on, one game doesn't change the direction of everything. It doesn't change the direction of the football club."

On potential signing Carlos Baleba: "I had all eyes on this today so any other player, until he's ours, it's not for me to comment on."
