Manchester United opened their Premier League campaign with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Hull City, raising immediate questions about the team's tactical setup.
Assistant manager Dean Holden defended the decision to deploy a back-five formation, despite the team failing to register a single goal throughout the 90 minutes.
Captain Bruno Fernandes admitted the squad repeated the same errors seen in previous away games, leaving manager Michael Carrick under early pressure to address the team's defensive vulnerabilities.
