MAN UNITED 3 HULL 1: Premier League Debutant Wilson Scores Brace To Fire Reds To Victory

Manchester United's 18-year-old prospect James Wilson scored twice on his debut as United beat Hull City 1-0 at Old Trafford to bounce back from their shock home defeat against Sunderland at the weekend.

Interim manager Ryan Giggs sprang a big surprise before kick-off, giving debut starts to young strikers Wilson and Tom Lawrence and naming himself on the bench alongside the departing Nemanja Vidic.

And it was Wilson who made the key breakthrough, lashing home his first Premier League goal for the club after Marouane Fellaini headed into his path from Adnan Januzaj’s free-kick on the half hour.


Wilson then became only the second United player to score a double on debut since Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2001 early in the second half when he tucked in Marouane Fellaini’s saved effort.

Matty Fryatt pulled a goal back for Hull City with a spectacular strike but Robin van Persie, on for Wilson, finished things off with his first goal since February.

United travel to Southampton on Sunday whilst Hull round off their season at home to Everton.
