Set the scene for me… With the season now getting into full swing, Manchester United face a Hull City side who, like the Reds, have a perfect record from their opening two Premier League outings. In United's win against Southampton last time out, Zlatan Ibrahimovic increased his scoring run to three matches and if the Swede can get on the scoresheet at Hull, he will equal a club record which has stood for 91 years.
They'll have a familiar face in the dugout... Indeed. Mike Phelan is Hull's caretaker boss and will take charge of his fourth game this weekend, having replaced fellow ex-Red Steve Bruce last month. Phelan, five years a United player, has been in coaching since he retired from playing in 1995, and held various roles at Old Trafford as part of Sir Alex Ferguson's backroom staff; most recently, he was the Scot's number two during a trophy-laden period for the Reds between 2008 and 2013.
Didn't Hull beat Leicester? Yes, they impressively overcame the champions 2-1 on the opening day, before winning 2-0 at Swansea City last weekend. Phelan made changes for Tuesday's League Cup tie away at Exeter City, which the Tigers won 3-1.
