Well, we got a goal eventually. That 90 minutes from the KCOM Stadium may end up being one of the harder watches of the season, with both Hull and Manchester United having done little to keep us awake. The weather conditions probably didn’t help, but not even the enigmatic Zlatan Ibrahimovic could do much in a game that was more thud and blunder than blood and thunder!Marcus Rashford provided the decisive touch in injury time after coming on as a substitute, and although Man United maintained their 100% record after three games, it was another performance that raised question marks.Hull were at their battling best as they fight against their mounting injury concerns, and once again they proved that they may not be certainties for relegation after all.So what did we learn on Humberside? Well here are FIVE big talking points from a rain-drenched night…

Time to utilise Rashford?

A late tap in shouldn’t entirely cloud judgement, but Marcus Rashford’s lack of game time has been slightly confusing. Yes, it’s a long season and there will be chances for him, but with the youngster having been one of the only bright spots from last season he probably should be getting more of a look in, especially as Wayne Rooney huffs and puffs.

Hull may be more than a flash in the pan

With almost as many points as they have fit senior players, Hull are really beginning to make those who tipped them for a record-low Premier League points haul look a little silly. Their opening day win at home to champions Leicester was seen by many as a fluke, while their victory at Swansea went somewhat under the radar. But to hold Man United at bay until so late in the game really is some going, and although the Red Devils had the bulk of the possession and got the win, Mike Phelan’s men showed what they’re all about: grit, determination and organisation.

It’ll be a long season, but there are certainly more than three teams worse than the Tigers right now!

Has much changed at Man United?

If someone had played this game to you in the middle of Louis van Gaal’s 2015/16 season at Man United it wouldn’t have looked out of place. Granted, Jose Mourinho’s men are a little more easy on the eye than LVG’s boys were at their worst, but this evening saw many of the same old issues come to the fore.

Until Man United can start moving the ball with a little more pace in the final third it’s difficult to get carried away with just results.

Sam Clucas could be key

Robert Snodgrass and Abel Hernandez are widely seen as Hull’s key men, but Sam Clucas is quietly putting forward a case to be talked about as one of the top Tigers. Pushed into a holding role by a combination of injuries and his own disciplined playing style, the 25-year-old proved himself to be a very capable player against Man United this evening, mopping up in front of his backline with real composure.

Rooney remains a problem

Dropping Rooney would be a BOLD statement from Jose Mourinho, but the Portuguese tactician can’t be far from considering it. The skipper was pretty anonymous once again at the KCOM Stadium and struggled to get in on the action, with his lack of pace often killing off promising attacking situations.

Granted he got the assist for the winner, but can that paper over the cracks?
