The Tigers scored twice in the first half to hand United their first defeat of the season.
Manchester United came into this game as favourites, hoping to continue their fine form under Michael Carrick, but Sergej Jakirović’s men had other ideas.
Nigeria international Semi Ajayi drew first blood in the 17th minute after a bright start from the hosts.
The visitors pushed for an instant equaliser, but Hull were resolute in protecting their lead.
The Tigers doubled their advantage on the cusp of half-time when a free-kick from Regan Slater was met by a thunderous effort from new signing Joël Ndala Mendy.
Manchester United failed to muster a comeback in the second half and had to settle for a 2-0 defeat.
It is the first defeat the Red Devils have tasted since a 2-1 loss at home to Leeds United in April, ending a run of six games unbeaten.
Next up for Manchester United is a home game against another newly promoted side, Burnley, at Old Trafford.
Hull City, meanwhile, will travel to Stoke City for a Carabao Cup tie on Tuesday before an away trip to Coventry City in the Championship.
