Hull 0 Man Utd 1

Hull escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth despite slumping to a 1-0 defeat against an under-strength Manchester United.

United made 10 changes as Sir Alex Ferguson rested his biggest names ahead of the Champions League final on Wednesday but the final score meant there could be no complaints.
Their starting XI had an average age of just 23, a figure boosted by the return of veteran club captain Gary Neville, 34.

United scored in the 24th minute with a ferocious strike from Gibson. The 21-year-old let fly from 25 yards with a powerful shot across goal that flew past Myhill into the top corner.
