In the first two games, United scored seven goals and conceded one.

At the top of the Premier League!

Such a start made Manchester United fans very happy.

Mourinho's approval ratings skyrocketed.

On 27 August, Manchester United played their third league game of the season.

At home to Hull City.

Hull City have been a bit of a stretch this season, and they have started the season with two wins in a row.

Not only did they win against their relegation rivals, but they also won against defending champions Leicester City.

The strength is quite fierce.

Are they going to put on a Leicester miracle this season?

This game is still a home game, and against Manchester United, they are still in form!

Soon after the game, Hull City used a counter-attack to close the goal!

Pogba conceded the ball in the middle and was counter-attacked!

De Gea flicked the ball with his fingertips, and it hit the post and bounced off the line.

United almost conceded a goal.

However, their good fortune ended there.

In the 24th minute of the game, the somewhat impetuous Pogba was entangled with the opponent in the middle again!

Shovel fiercely!

The opponent's striker falls to the ground!

The referee's whistle blows!

Back tackle, red card!

The red card made Mourinho on the sidelines angry and hit the ground.

This Pogba, what a reckless!

It's a great win, and it's wasted!

Faced with this situation, Mourinho made a decisive substitution adjustment.

He replaced Mkhitaryan and replaced Herrera.

As a result, United's midfield duo became Xia Xing, Michael Carrick and Herrera.

Rooney and Ibrahimovic were the only two left in the front line.

Jose Mourinho hasn't dropped back too much and he's hoping his team can get on the scoresheet.

But under the onslaught of Hull City, United don't have much of an advantage.

The change in formation with one less man has made Manchester United's area attack and defense obviously disadvantaged.

This season's Hull City is like beating the old master to death, extremely vicious, without any rules.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Rooney was injured and fell to the ground in a scramble with his opponent.

He had just returned from injury when he suffered another minor injury.

Mourinho was so angry that he scolded his mother on the sidelines, but he was still helpless.

He had to replace Wayne Rooney and bring on Lingard, who had the ability to run.

The first half ended 0-0 and the second half continued.

However, the second half was more stressful for Manchester United.

On the one hand, they already have one less person to fight, and their physical consumption is serious.

On the other hand, the referee's whistle was obviously on the light side today, and Hull City's scramble was too fierce.

When Carrick was tackled by his opponent again, Mourinho was completely furious!

"Is this a rugby game! Didn't the referee bring a whistle today! ”

The fourth official frowned, but he was also a little puzzled by the referee's decision.

It is true that the whistle is light today.

For example, even Carrick was injured again, and the opponent only received a yellow card.

On the Manchester United side, there are already three people out of the game.

If you look at it that way, Pogba's red card in the opening game seems unreasonable.

But it's a foregone conclusion and can't be changed.

Jose Mourinho brought on Marouane Fellaini for Carrick and the pressure on United intensified.

Hull City used three substitutions in a row, replacing three players who had just been carded, and replacing them with new signings.

In this way, they can be ferocious again.

At this time, it was the 75th minute of the game, and the score was still 0-0.

For Mourinho, a draw would be a good one.

That's what most of the United players think.

But someone doesn't think so!

Xia Xing's successive midfield defenses, tackles are crisp!

Even Carragher in the live broadcast room couldn't help but praise: "Xia's defensive ability is really the best in the world!" Which team has him, it can completely put on the most stable bus! ”

Xia Xing swept a large area, Fellaini and Herrera also defended desperately, and Lingard also defended frequently.

Manchester United's midfield defense is very hard, and they don't lose to the opposition.

That's not enough, though!

In the 87th minute of the game, Xia Xing fought with the opponent again in the midfield!

This time it's hand-to-hand combat!

He crashed straight into two defenders!

A strong body that makes the opponent's back waist powerless!

Lingard and Ibrahimovic are running fast!

Xia Xing's short pass forward!

Lingard catches the ball and knocks it horizontally!

Summer Walk fast run in place!

Short pass forward again!

Ibrahimovic himself catches the ball and passes it back!

Xia Xing has come to the restricted area line!

The ball rolls and shoots!

The two central defenders of the opposing side pounced!

But it's late!

The ball hits the bottom right corner of the net!

The goalkeeper can't make the save!

"The ball is in!

"1 to 0!

"Manchester United finally broke the deadlock at the last minute!

"They played too hard in this game!

"First I was sent off at the beginning, and then I was kicked by the opponent and injured two people!

"What's even more exaggerated is that Hull City has such a ferocious style of play, and no one has been sent off?

"Today's sentence is really hard to describe, hehe.

"But luckily, Xia scored the killer goal in the last minute!

"With both the captains and vice-captains of Manchester United injured,

"Their third captain is in a hurry!

"It was a brilliant goal!"

The visiting fans in the stands cheered wildly, and the Manchester United players on the pitch were also excited.

However, Xia Xing was not too happy.

He ran to the side of the pitch because he saw Mourinho greeting him.

Mourinho is also well aware that there is no need to be happy now, there are countless possibilities for the game.

Xia Xing accepted Mourinho's on-the-spot arrangements on the sidelines and nodded frequently.

Back on the field, Xia Xing completely returned to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

This time he was responsible for defending in the middle, with Jesse Lingard returning to the left to be involved in defence.

As a result, Manchester United's formation became 4-4-1.

Only Ibrahimovic was left in the front as a counter-attacking point.

Soon after, though, Ibrahimovic also returned from a corner-kick and made a cameo appearance at centre-back in the box.

In this way, Manchester United retreated with all their hands!

For them, to hold on to this goal is to win!

Bloodthirsty onslaught on the city of Hull!

They are desperate!

A frantic rush outside the box!

Even Xia Xing and Fellaini are under great pressure.

This damn SB referee!

You didn't even bring a whistle!

Don't blow it like that?

Hull City were indulgent, bringing down Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard on the flanks in succession.

Xia Xing rushed forward angrily, but was blocked by Fellaini and knocked the opponent down with a kick first.

This time the referee's whistle blows and Fellaini fouls!

Under the boos of the away fans, the referee was not bad and did not give a card.

The free-kick is taken into the box, Ibrahimovic jumps high and clears the ball with a header!

The ball fell to the feet of Xia Xing outside the penalty area!

In the face of defense, Xia Xing pulled and buckled!

Pass the opposing striker!

Boldness of execution stems from superb skill!

Dribble to the left wing!

Hasten!

Crash through the defense!

Keep sprinting with the ball!

The opposite side had no choice but to pull down Xia Xing!

The referee's whistle blew again!

But this time it's not a foul, it's the end of the game!

This farce-like game is finally over!

The best part, though, is just beginning......
