Manchester United travel to newly-promoted Hull City on Saturday without winger Amad Diallo, who has been ruled out of the Premier League season opener after picking up a training ground injury.

Head coach Michael Carrick confirmed the news ahead of the fixture, describing the issue as a niggle without providing a specific timeline for the forward’s return. It is the first competitive game of the new Premier League campaign for United under Carrick’s management.

Amad had been expected to feature as United look to build on the momentum generated at the end of last season. His absence is an early blow to Carrick’s attacking options as the club begin their league programme against a Hull side making their return to the top flight.

Further details on the severity of the injury and an expected return date have not yet been disclosed.
