The 54th Australian to play in the Premier League insists he will continue working hard – and cannot wait to face Erling HaalandOn the opening day of the Premier League season, with just over an hour gone in Hull City’s clash with Manchester United, Lucas Herrington got up off the bench. With the Tigers 2-0 up, manager Sergej Jakirović turned to the 18-year-old Australian to replace injured goalscorer Nobel Mendy with a clear role in mind.“I knew the job that had to be done,” Herrington says, two weeks after his debut. “I knew that we had to see out the game. It wasn’t going to be easy because they were going to throw everything at it. With their subs, they did. They were more attacking.” Continue reading...
Manchester United will bounce back and ‘destroy’ Ipswich, predicts Patrice Evra (Picture: Kick) Patrice Evra has backed Manchester United to rally after their opening-day defeat at Hull to ‘destroy’ Ipswich this weekend. A dramatic end-of-season resurgence under Michael Carrick had United fans feeling positive ahead of the new campaign, with the club qualifying for the Champions League for the first time since 2023/24. That sense of optimism quickly turned to frustration and despair, though, as Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scored a pair of unanswered goals to ensure Hull secured all three points against United on their return to the Premier League. The Red Devils ended the game with 71 per cent of the possession but could only muster a total of five shots on target, with Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbuemo and Bruno Fernandes all denied by Konstantinos Tzolakis at MKM Stadium.

Carrick’s men have the perfect opportunity to respond versus another of the league’s new boys in Ipswich on Sunday afternoon – and they will be desperate to right their wrongs after a nightmare start to the new season. Ipswich may well be tasting another upset heading into the contest after coming out on top in their two opening matches against Sunderland and Leicester in the Premier League and Carabao Cup respectively. But when asked for his prediction during a live stream on Kick, former United full-back Evra replied: ‘I think Manchester United will destroy Ipswich. Hull stunned United with a 2-0 victory on their Premier League return (Picture: Getty) Carrick cut a frustrated figure on the touchline at MKM Stadium (Picture: Getty) ‘But I think they’re going to suffer in the first half, then they are going to beat Ipswich 3-1. ‘I don’t see United losing this second game but also it’s a really tricky and dangerous game so I’m not going arrogant. ‘When I say they have to win 3-1 it’s because if we even draw, imagine the noise.’ {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Carrick reflects on disappointing start as Man United lose to Hull","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/08\/22\/3200761093652133798\/480x270_MP4_3200761093652133798.mp4","description":"Press conference with Manchester United manager Michael Carrick following their 2-0 loss to Hull City at the MKM Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.","duration":"T6M44S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/08\/22\/16\/110791853-0-image-m-13_1787413415956.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-22T16:42:41+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); According to Evra, the amount of ‘noise’ when United win or lose just goes to show that the Red Devils remain a ‘big club’. ‘That’s when you know it’s still a big club, when United lose it’s like all the world is just talking about it,’ he added. ‘When they win, when they lose, it’s the same. Even people forget about the other results. Evra is considered one of the finest left-backs in Premier League history (Picture: Getty) ‘Some other teams, I don’t understand why we don’t talk about Brighton, their performance, we talk about United because we lost against Hull. ‘They are against the world.

Manchester United players need to take ‘responsibility’ on the pitch, says Wayne Rooney (Picture: The Overlap) Wayne Rooney has called on Michael Carrick to take both Luke Shaw and Andrey Santos out of Manchester United’s starting XI following the side’s opening-day defeat to Hull City. Hull produced the major upset of the weekend as Semi Ajayi and debutant Nobel Mendy scored two unanswered goals to ensure Sergej Jakirovic’s side got off to a perfect start on their return to the Premier League. There had been a renewed sense of optimism amongst United’s fanbase heading into the new campaign, but Carrick’s men managed a total of just five shots on target despite finishing the contest with 71 per cent of the possession. The Red Devils return to top-flight action at home to another of the Premier League’s new boys in Ipswich on Sunday and Carrick may well be feeling the pressure at this embryonic stage of the season.

The United manager will not be able to call upon £70million summer arrival Carlos Baleba, who was officially unveiled on Tuesday evening but is currently recovering from ankle ligament damage. It remains to be seen if Carrick will keep faith with his new-look midfield combination of Youri Tielemans and Santos following the pair’s largely underwhelming performances at MKM Stadium. ‘I think players need to take responsibility on the pitch because when you play against a Hull City or Ipswich, the next game, you can set up however you want to set up and a lot of the time it’s decisions,’ club legend Rooney said while dissecting United’s display on The Overlap. Carrick should consider dropping Santos versus Ipswich, says Rooney (Picture: Getty) Rooney wants to see Dorgu switch to left-back (Picture: Getty) ‘You can stop and start training sessions and say, If the ball goes here we have to come across or make sure your winger is in with you”, or whatever that is. ‘But it’s decisions from players on the pitch which make the difference.’ Patrick Dorgu was taken off for Marcus Rashford at the halfway stage as United sought to find a way back into the game against Hull. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Carrick reflects on disappointing start as Man United lose to Hull","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/08\/22\/3200761093652133798\/480x270_MP4_3200761093652133798.mp4","description":"Press conference with Manchester United manager Michael Carrick following their 2-0 loss to Hull City at the MKM Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.","duration":"T6M44S","height":270,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/08\/22\/16\/110791853-0-image-m-13_1787413415956.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-08-22T16:42:41+0100","width":480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel.el_) === 'undefined') { return; } var player = data.detail.carousel.el_; var container = player.closest('.metro-video-player'); var placeholder = container.querySelector('.metro-video-player__up-next-placeholder'); if (placeholder) { container.removeChild(placeholder); container.classList.add('metro-video-player--related-videos-loaded'); } }); But Rooney believes Luke Shaw should be the man sacrificed versus Ipswich, with Dorgu switching from the wing to left-back. ‘I’d change Luke Shaw and I’d play Dorgu at left-back, be a bit more aggressive,’ Rooney – United’s all-time record goalscorer – explained. ‘I don’t think we can rely on him [Shaw] to play all the games so when you’re playing against a newly promoted team at home, I’d play Dorgu at left-back.

United's Premier League season got off to a nightmare start as goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy - both stemming from set-pieces - put them to the sword in Yorkshire.
