Sergej Jakirovic's play-off winners were the surprise package of the Championship last term and they are now aiming to produce a few more upsets in their first campaign back in the top flight since 2016/17.
They face a United side who enjoyed a brilliant second half of last season under Michael Carrick, which earned the former England midfielder the manager's job full-time.

Hull City vs Manchester United: Preview
For the second season in a row, Hull City find themselves among the favourites for relegation - but this time they are in the Premier League.
The Tigers were widely tipped to struggle in the Championship last term after securing survival on the final day of 2024/25, only for manager Sergej Jakirovic to work wonders in his first campaign in English football, despite an embargo that restricted them to free transfers and loans last summer.
A dramatic campaign culminated in Oli McBurnie's 95th-minute winner against Middlesbrough in the play-off final, which was a fitting end to a promotion charge built on 'moments', rather than dominant performances.
It means Hull are the pre-season favourites to finish bottom of the pile, but the likes of Joe Gelhardt - whose successful loan from Leeds United was turned into a £6.5m transfer this summer - are capable of producing more magic moments, which could make them dangerous. The MKM Stadium will be bouncing for the visit of Manchester United and the Tigers will be desperate to prove the doubters wrong again.

United may not be the trophy-winning machine they were when Hull first entered the Premier League in 2008, but Red Devils fans head to East Yorkshire in optimistic mood ahead of the new campaign.
Their excellent form under Michael Carrick in the second half of last season sealed a return to the Champions League, while the club have refreshed their midfield over the summer, with Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans arriving and Brighton & Hove Albion's Carlos Baleba rumoured to be on his way to Old Trafford.
United will expect to claim two wins out of two to start the season, with next week's opening home game against another newly-promoted side, Ipswich Town, especially as mid-September brings the fixture congestion of the Champions League.
Carrick needs to get off to a strong start after taking the manager's job full-time, but if his side drop points against Hull, the pressure will already be on.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Hull City 1-2 Manchester United
Newly-promoted teams always have an extra spring in their step at the start of the season, so the Tigers could run United close.
