Man United v Hull City: Premier League
It’s Man United v Hull City this afternoon in a rare 3pm Old Trafford kick off with United pair Radamel Falcao and Marcos Rojo set to return from injuries respectively to face the Tigers.
Jonny Evans played for the reserves this week but is expected to remain on the sidelines with Luke Shaw, Phil Jones, Rafael and Daley Blind.
Hull forward Abel Hernandez will miss the trip to United in order to be at the birth of his child in Uruguay.
The suspended Gaston Ramirez is the only other absentee for Hull.
Preview……
It was interesting to listen to Ryan Giggs this week talking about the similarities between Louis van Gaal and Sir Alex Ferguson in terms of intensity and preparation, and how Van Gaal demands the same sort of intensity in training as in a game.
“He sets standards and if you drop below them he is not happy,” Giggs said.
I don’t doubt that for one minute, but he’ll have been happy enough to have seen his injury-hit team win at Arsenal last week with an inexperienced three-man backline.
They still have a long injury list but opponents Hull are in a real rut at the moment. Robin van Persie knows how they must be feeling. His recent form has been indifferent too and last weekend he had only 13 touches of the ball against his former club Arsenal.
They started well enough at home to Tottenham last weekend with an early goal from Jake Livermore, only for Gaston Ramirez to get a daft red card. Tottenham’s eventual 2-1 win was hardly a surprise.
A victory this weekend would be Hull’s first over Manchester United for 40 years, when both clubs were in the old Second Division in November 1974.
United’s first away win of the season last weekend moved them into the top four for the first time this season. There’s every chance they’ll stay there after this weekend’s games.
