Three things we learned from Hull City v Manchester United

No Snodgrass, No Worries…

The Hull City star has been the club’s standout player so far this term, despite The Tigers sitting 19th in the Premier League table, having scored nine goals and providing four assists in all competitions.

However, the Scotland international is poised to seal a £10m move to West Ham United before the close of the January transfer window.

Despite being an integral part of the Hull side; one where Silva’s men would almost be undoubtedly rock-bottom of the league table and further adrift of safety if they didn’t benefit from Snodgrass’ form, Thursday’s second leg victory should provide fans with plenty of confidence that there is lift after Snodgrass and that Hull can preserve their Premier League status without the winger.

The Scot’s expected £10m transfer fee should help boss Silva strengthen the squad overall, with 16 league games remaining of the 2016-17 campaign to keep the club afloat in the top-flight.
