Jose Mourinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba will sprinkle some stardust on Humberside this Saturday when Hull host Manchester United at the KCOM Stadium. Andrew Wiggins Jersey .United (2-0-0) have enjoyed a perfect start to life under their new manager, dramatically strengthening the squad and fostering a positive atmosphere around the club. A Community Shield win to start the season was followed by back-to-back league victories.Juan Mata has been one of the surprise success stories of that impressive opening to the campaign, featuring in all three matches despite a less than harmonious relationship history with his new manager. And while the Spanish international has done enough to suggest he will be a feature of Uniteds potential title charge, he has spoken of the importance of doing more to get the fans back on-side after the disappointment of the Louis van Gaal era.It is vital if we want to make every game at Old Trafford a special day, Mata said. It is also vital, in my opinion, to generate that chemistry with our fans in order to make our stadium a very tough place for the other teams.Its still August and that means we are still working on a few adjustments. We know theres still room for improvement.That continues this weekend.We have a tough game ahead on Saturday at Hull City, Mata said. Its never easy and they are one of the four teams that have won the first two games this season. They are back in the Premier League this year and are having a surprising start. We will try to win and keep our good streak.Hull (2-0-0) have also enjoyed a terrific start, defying their odds as favourites for relegation to win back-to-back matches. Hull also progressed to the third round of the cup with a routine 3-1 win over Exeter City, but Ahmed Elmohamady -- who captained the Tigers in their midweek victory -- said that the players turned their attention straight to United after the game.Were getting ourselves ready for Manchester United, Elmohamady said. We were straight back into training on Wednesday morning after the cup game and we know it is going to be a tough match, but it is at our home.And there should be a good number of interest.Its live on the television and we have to enjoy occasions like this, Elmohamady said. We have to show everybody how good we are as a team again and we cant wait for the game.The spirit in our group is very high and that is a big thing. Were all very close and weve shown everybody what our character is like in the first two league games. We want to continue that against Manchester United.Hull will be without Alex Bruce and Michael Dawson for the fixture, with the two regular centre-backs still recovering from Achilles and knee injuries, respectively.Uniteds only injury concern is Jesse Lingard, who faces a late fitness test after missing training with an ankle problem.Hull picked up a point in their most recent match against United -- a 0-0 draw on the final weekend of the 2014-15 season. That is the Tigers only positive result in eight Premier League meetings, with United winning the first seven encounters by a combined score of 21-7.That clean sheet was also the only time that Hull have shut out the Manchester club in their eight top-fight games, and one of just two times that they have restricted United to under three goals. Luol Deng Timberwolves Jersey . 1 position. The Mustangs (6-0), who beat Queens 50-31 last weekend, earned 17 first-place votes and 287 points in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada.

Gennady Golovkin was searching for someone to fight him for the middleweight title. Kell Brook was more than eager to step up for the challenge.Brook will move up two weight classes to face the fearsome Golovkin on Sept. 10 in a clash of unbeaten champions. The British fighter will have the hometown advantage at Londons 02 Arena, but faces a formidable task against a fighter who is not only bigger but has stopped his last 22 opponents.This is the fight and the moment I have been waiting for for some time, Brook said. Weve tried and tried to lure the best to come and fight me and now weve got the best of the best -- the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world is coming to the UK.Brook got the fight after negotiations with middleweight Chris Eubank Jr. broke down this week, promoter Tom Loeffler said. The two sides quickly came to a deal, on the same terms that Eubank rejected.When you have 22 knockouts in a row its a big problem to get fighters in the ring, Loeffler said. Kell Brooks has had problems finding welterweights to fight him, so its actually a good solution.Golovkin had hoped to get Mexicos Canelo Alvarez in a middleweight showdown, but turned elsewhere after Alvarez gave up his piece of the 160-pound title rather than meet him in September. Golovkin wanted to fight in London, so getting a British opponent was a priority.Brook is more than just an opponent, having won all 36 of his fights while capturing a piece of the 147-pound title. But his first test as a middleweight will be a big one against the increasinglyy popular Triple G. Robert Covington Jersey. Hes actually not much smaller. Kell is a very big welterweight, and Gennady is a small middleweight, Loeffler said. Its not going to look like hes a much bigger fighter. The real test is not how physically big he is but how big his heart is, and Kell has proven to have a big heart.Take away the weight difference, and the matchup is an intriguing one. The two fighters have 71 fights between them, and 71 wins.Just as importantly, both can bang, with Golovkin scoring 32 knockouts in his 35 fights, and Brooks 25 in 36 fights.They will meet for the 160-pound titles held by Golovkin, who will be defending his belts in yet another major city as he works to expand his following. Golovkin sold out Madison Square Garden in October for a stoppage of David Lemieux, and did the same in April at the Forum in Los Angeles when he knocked out Dominic Wade.Im very excited to be fighting in front of the great British boxing fans and promise another `Big Drama Show against undefeated Kell Brook, said Golovkin. I give him much respect for taking this fight.Brook has fought almost exclusively in England, though he traveled to Los Angeles in 2014 to win the 147-pound title from Shawn Porter. He has defended it three times.You have seen some huge names run from GGG, but Im running to him, Brook said.The fight will be televised on Sky Box Office pay-per-view in Britain, and on HBO in the U.S. ' ' '
