OUR daily blog with the latest news, transfer rumours and gossip about Hull City in the Premier League.

HDM Sport on Facebook DO Manchester United really deserve the amount of praise they're getting after their 3-0 win over Hull City yesterday? That's a question being asked by former Tottenham and QPR midfielder Jermaine Jenas, despite the Red Devils seemingly producing arguably their most comfortable showing under Louis van Gaal. But were United excellent, or the Tigers terrible? "Manchester United were the most comfortable I have seen them so far this season. Whether that was because Hull were poor, or as Robin van Persie said, United upped the tempo, I'm not sure," the midfielder told Squawka. Steve Bruce openly admitted his side were punished for their mistakes, and United, well, were clinical in taking their chances, and honestly could've had more than three.Redknapp in for Tigers target LennonHARRY Redknapp is no stranger on deadline day, as you're all but guaranteed an interview from his car window on a latest signing. That acquisition could well be Tottenham's Aaron Lennon in January, according to the Daily Star. Redknapp is apparently keen to raid his former club Spurs for the winger, but the Tigers reportedly remain keen for the 27-year-old's signature. Stoke are also on high alert after Lennon has struggled to find a regular place in the Tottenham line-up under Mauricio Pochettino. Meanwhile, speaking to Tottenham's official website, Lennon believes he's got years in him yet – as he reached 400 career appearances. Surprised at how quick he reached the milestone, Lennon says all he can do is remain fit and hungry to fix down a prominent role at Spurs. "With the amount of games I've played I'm probably one of the oldest in the squad now and I've been around here a long time, but I do try and help the younger players – and also the new players. "I'm still 27 and I'll be 28 in April, so there's still some petrol in the tank! "Hopefully to try to stay as fit as possible and to continue enjoying my football." In today's Sunday Express, they say the Tigers need to play to their potential ahead of the January transfer window. "Steve Bruce has assembled a fine squad that is short of wins – but he often raids Tottenham for players and could aim for Aaron Lennon. Bruce could get his Spurs – again."van Persie form 'could revitalise United'ROBIN van Persie is stealing all of the headlines in today's national newspapers, and rightly so after his wonder goal at Old Trafford yesterday. 'Robin Good', say the Daily Star. 'Return of the Flying Dutchman', the Sunday Express state. And Sky Sports pundit Niall Quinn says due to van Persie's brilliance, United could be a force to be reckoned with again as they collected their third straight Premier League victory. "Manchester United are in one of those periods where you half expect them to just go on and keep winning," Quinn said on Saturday Night Football Match Choice. "They are in serious form at the moment. Even the fans are reacting positively, they have really enjoyed the last three wins and the performances have meant so much. "The players are becoming more comfortable and their true form starts to show. They have got a home game against Stoke on Tuesday then a top-four clash against Southampton and if they take six points from that to approach the Christmas period they will be a force to be reckoned with again." Even injured United star Daley Blind couldn't help but join in the celebrations after the win over the Tigers.

Carrick the cream of the passing game YOU may be surprised to learn that Michael Carrick held the accolade for the most completed passes in Saturday's Premier League fixtures. With an astounding 104 passes, it's no wonder he was one of the stars of the show against Hull City.Hibs win – but Oxley makes a howlerMARK Oxley was left to breathe a sigh of relief after his error almost made 10-man Hibernian slip up at Alloa Athletic. Out of sorts on the day, the Wasps took the lead when Daryll Meggatt's 30-yard shot looked to be heading straight for the on-loan City stopper's palms. However, slipping through his legs, Oxley was left red-faced after just 15 minutes But it didn't matter in the end as Hibs roared back through Liam Craig's free-kick and David Gray's winner. Hibs striker Dominique Malonga was given a straight red after aiming a kick at Ben Gordon three minutes from the end.Viral sensation Andy Tate returns for Tigers win AND finally, if you're an avid Vine user, you may recognise the star of the video below. Passionate Manchester United fan Andy Tate is known for his memorable sound-bites - and even has his very own iPhone application. Somewhat of a cult hero at Old Trafford, YouTube channel Full Time Devils caught up with the United mega-fan following their 3-0 victory over Hull City.
