Hull City thriving while Manchester United stumbles to joint-worst start
Manchester United drew 1-1 with Fulham to extend their poorest start in a Premier League season, as promoted Hull City reaches third place after their opening month.
Manchester United drew 1-1 at Fulham on 20 September, per Sky Sports, with Lisandro Martinez's own goal cancelled out by Matheus Cunha's deflected shot in the 89th minute. The draw leaves United with five points from five matches, their joint-worst Premier League start.
In sharp contrast, Hull City are thriving after their return to the top flight. Per ESPN, the club earned an A+ grade for their first-month performance, accumulating eight points from four matches. That haul has lifted them to third in the table with only Arsenal and Manchester City ahead of them, a striking achievement for a team promoted via the Championship play-offs.
