Hull vs Manchester United preview: What time does it start, where can I watch it live?

A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at the KCOM Stadium

It’s a big game for…

Anthony Martial. The Frenchman has struggled in front of goal for Manchester United despite starting in both games so far in the Premier League. Although the club have got off to a 100 per cent winning start, Martial has looked subdued – so much so that Jose Mourinho has told the Frenchman to raise his game.

If he starts, Saturday’s game against Hull could prove to be a make or break moment for the player. He’ll need to deliver if he stands any hope of keeping his place in the team.

Best stat…

Hull City have not beaten Manchester United in their last 11 league and cup encounters.

Player to watch…

Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Armenian is widely expected to make his first start under Mourinho in Saturday’s clash against Hull. Mkhitaryan’s technical creativity will bring further threat to the side within the final third while his electric pace will help strengthen United’s counter-attacking abilities - a quality that has been lacking in recent years.
