Hull City's caretaker manager Mike Phelan spent 19 years at Manchester United, the team he'll face on Saturday. Both sides have won their two Premier League matches so far, with those of Hull far more surprising than United's victories.
Phelan, 53, was a United first-team player between 1989-94 and, having returned after a five-year absence, a coach for 14 years until 2013; when Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down, his successor David Moyes decided against retaining Phelan.
Ferguson was disappointed Phelan wasn't kept on, but understood that managers bring their own men with them. Phelan felt similarly; although he'd spent most of his career at United, he had been about enough to experience football's sharp end.
