Sergej Jakirovic is delighted for Hull City to be back in the Premier League. After the club’s relegation from the top tier in 2017, Saturday afternoon’s visit of Manchester United to the MKM Stadium will be the first fixture in the top division at the ground for almost a decade. ·‘We will try to make a difficult game’ The Red Devils, who finished 3rd in the Premier League last season, have quietly conducted their business in the transfer market, and some foresee them as a challenger to Arsenal at the top of the table. They are certainly favourites for the three points, but that will not dull down Hull’s enthusiasm. "I'm expecting three or four more players. We bought some players, they are good players, potential players but they need more time for adaptation and to get chemistry with the team. We did a good pre-season now we can start the official games. “Our recruitment team together with the Chairman, they are working [on] a lot of new players so we need some positions still. We need more players and also for the competition on these positions. "We will try to make [it] a difficult game for Manchester United. Of course they are favourites. I can't wait because I want also to compete with other managers. Sometimes, mostly we will be underdogs but still we are used to it to fight there and try to use our opportunities on the pitch. "[To be in the Premier League, it means] everything. A lot. You can compare with the best teams, the best players, the managers. We are not here just to participate in this season so we will try to do our best. Of course it is not easy. I saw all these predictions and everything but it is great motivation to prove them wrong if it is possible. “We have another plan if things are not going so good, so you have to prepare everything for next year, next season. At least we can fight, show some of our potential and what we have in our team."
