Hull and the Manchester United connection

Hull City, recently promoted to the Premiership have a strong Manchester United connection. We have in the past loaned them a player, Frazier Campbell, who did quite well there but has had his career stalled due to injuries and lack of form.

But now, not only is the manager, Steve Bruce, a former Manchester United Player and Captain but they have six former United players in their first team squad.

They already had Paul McShane from the last time they came up. Now they have Corry Evans (younger brother of Jonny) - a midfielder, James Chester and Joe Dudgeon at CB and FB, and wingers Cameron Steward and Robbie Brady.

All have come through the ranks at United but didn't make the grade. Yet, here we have a team with who could fill half their starting 11 with former United men. How much of a chance they will have in the PL is unknown but it is good to see former youth players carving out a career at PL (and other) level.

Hull fans, please let us knowhow you think all of them have done so far and if you think they could make it in the PL.

As for myself, I hope Hull do well next season and that is primarily due to the strong connection to United.

I could be wrong, but I don't think we have any other team with so many former youth players of ours in their side.
