Hull City manager Sergej Jakirovic has hailed his side’s tactical discipline against Manchester United. This comes after the newly-promoted Tigers secured a historic 2-0 victory over MUFC, and fans have been reacting.
Hailing the resilience shown by his squad, Sergej revealed that his players deserve praise for being organized against a quality opponent like MUFC.

He added that even though there are still 37 games left to play, Hull City has a solid foundation to build on.
His words, “It means a lot, we were organised and it was very good for us. The players stick to a tactical plan, we suffer because we play against Manchester United but we punished the opponent. We are one year together, we had three new guys and all together they looked like a team there and in the end we succeeded.
We had a lot of problems because we made four substitutions in our defensive line which is unusual. You have to play, you have to fight and maybe now we need more players.
This is football. We are professionals. We are trying to prove people wrong, I know there are 37 games to go but this is a good base for the future.”
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
