Legendary goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel has slammed Manchester United’s defence after a shock 2-0 opening-day defeat to newly-promoted Hull City.
Goals from Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy sealed the win for Hull, prompting Schmeichel to call out Patrick Dorgu, Ayden Heaven, and Luke Shaw for a severe lack of concentration and physical strength.

Carrick’s side were twice undone by set pieces, with Ajayi lashing into the roof of the net after Oli McBurnie’s initial effort was pushed onto the bar by Senne Lammens.
Record signing Mendy added a second shortly before half-time, powering home a header from Regan Slater’s free kick.
Schmeichel also questioned the team’s overall physical readiness and passive approach under Michael Carrick.
“Look at Dorgu on the front post; he’s not even looking at the guy taking the corner,’ the United legend told Premier League Productions.

“At that exact moment, he loses his concentration; he does not have the ability to block the first ball.
“And of course, Ayden Heaven on the back post. He allows McBurnie to go behind him. You can’t allow that. That’s not how you defend; you have to be stronger.
“It’s the absolute lack of concentration from Man United. That’s what disappoints me the most.”
