Manchester United XI vs Hull: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today

Santos, a £50million summer signing from Chelsea, was a regular feature during pre-season, taking part in all six friendlies, which suggests he will start in midfield for the Red Devils at the MKM Stadium this afternoon.Fellow midfield recruit Tielemans, meanwhile, was a late arrival after a post-World Cup holiday that followed Belgium’s run to the quarter-finals but he should now be up to speed after completing 90 minutes against Ruben Amorim’s AC Milan in Poland.There are decisions to make in defence as Lisandro Martinez’s lack of match sharpness could see youngster Ayden Heaven get the nod over Leny Yoro to partner Harry Maguire against one of his former clubs.Senne Lammens and Luke Shaw are set to start in goal and at left-back respectively, but it is between Diogo Dalot and Noussair Mazraoui for the right-back spot.Patrick Dorgu, either side of a cruel injury blow suffered in January against Arsenal, has been transformed as a left winger, creating a selection dilemma for Carrick as Matheus Cunha does his best work from that position.Starters: Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and new signing Youri TielemansPAMason Mount is “touch and go” to be ready for Hull, while Matthijs de Ligt, Manuel Ugarte and Tom Heaton are all definitely sidelined.Predicted Manchester United XI: Lammens; Dalot, Maguire, Heaven, Shaw; Tielemans, Santos; Mbeumo, Fernandes, Dorgu; CunhaRead MoreInjured: De Ligt, Ugarte, HeatonDoubts: Mount, Darlow, SeskoTime and date: 12.30pm BST on Saturday August 22, 2026
