What’s Hot and What’s Not as Man United reach the EFL Cup final

HOT – Marco Silva

Despite the aggregate loss, Hull can take huge amounts of confidence into their battle to stay in the Premier League.

And manager Marco Silva deserves an enormous amount of credit for giving the Tigers hope.

The Portuguese came in when Hull looked certain for the drop, but they have been in all five games he has taken charge of, and has won all three matches at the KCOM Stadium.

Their only defeats have come away at Chelsea and Manchester United, and they gave both sides a stern test, which is a far cry from the Hull we saw for much of the first half of the campaign.

Their performance on Wednesday against United should give the whole club a boost ahead of a testing Premier League campaign.
