Manchester United v Hull City: match preview

Manchester United v Hull City: match preview

 
The Louis van Gaal project continues to rumble along, convincing in fleeting moments but lacking the consistent high-gear quality of the best Manchester United teams. Perhaps after the rousing win at Arsenal that derived from counterattacking play, Van Gaal’s side will click into a team able to perform for 90 minutes against visiting Hull City who will want to improve on recent form.
