Marco Silva hails Hull players after Manchester United draw
Manchester United struggled against an Eldin Jakupovic-inspired Hull, whose improvements under recently-appointed manager Silva were clear at Old Trafford.
The point moves the Tiggers off the bottom of the Premier League, while a ninth league draw of the campaign leaves Mourinho's side four points off the top four.

Silva said: "Of course I am happy. We had a very good performance. We showed very good organisation in many moments again.
"We play as a team - when we need to suffer, we were ready to suffer.
"But our team showed big character in some moments and big personality in the game, which is important for me."
As for the performance of outstanding goalkeeper Jakupovic, Silva added: "I don't like to talk about individual players.
"Of course we play as a team. This night it is a good night for him - maybe next Saturday it is a good afternoon for the other players.
"It is football but I am happy with the performance Eldin showed for me. He is in a good moment. It is important for the team."
