Manchester United 2-0 Hull City EFL Cup Match Result and Highlight.

⚽ Mata and Fellaini put United in charge ahead of second leg.

Juan Mata was at the centre of their best opportunities and got the crucial breakthrough when Hull were threatening to frustrate Jose Mourinho's side

After a EFL Cup semi-final first leg victory over Hull City, Man United boss, Jose Mourinho has just moved a step closer to winning his first major title as Man United's manager, thanks to the brilliant goals from Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini.

United attempted to weaken resilient Hull in a first half in which the hosts had only two shots on target - Mata driving a decent save out of goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic, who additionally tipped over Paul Pogba's long-run strike.

However, we shouldn't forget that visitors had chances of their own, Robert Snodgrass was causing problems from set-pieces and that was a serious threat to United defence.  

Match Highlights

In any case, football is not all about creating chances and not scoring, it creating chances and scoring and united did just that when Mata got the leap forward just before the hour check when he tapped in from Henrikh Mkhitaryan's knockdown.

What the managers had to say:

Marco Silva Hull City Manager:

"It's a pity we suffered the second goal in the last minutes because we tried to keep the result open for the second game. But I'm happy with the work. Of course I'm not happy with the result. But I'm happy with the work of my players. It was not easy to come here with Man United in good form, but we worked well tonight and we will continue with our work."

Jose Mourinho Manchester United Manager: 

"Maybe I didn't prepare the team right. I didn't give them enough intensity, and we had to change that at half-time. Maybe I should pay more attention to the dynamic of the game. We have to improve for Sunday. Today our performance was enough to win, but Sunday we all have to improve."
