Silva should give these 3 Hull players a chance against Manchester United

Abel Hernandez

Only two of Hull’s strikers have found the net this season, one of which is Uruguayan international Abel Hernandez.

The 26-year-old has only netted twice, but one did come on Saturday in the 2-0 victory over Swansea at the KCOM Stadium as he returned the side after recovering from a groin injury he sustained in November.

And, given that Hull will need an outlet against United, he could be the man to come into the starting eleven to lead the line should he be fit enough to start.

Those 27 minutes against Swansea were his first minutes since the win over Southampton back in November as he steps up his recovery, and new boss Silva may need him to deputise against United if they are to take something back to the KCOM Stadium in two weeks’ time.
