Manchester United have produced a first-half comeback to reduce a two-goal deficit, leaving them drawing 2-2 with Hull City at half time in the Premier League.

Hull came out of the traps the quickest and made the most of a sloppy United start to take the lead in only the fourth minute, as James Chester profited from poor defending to flick the ball home.

Jake Livermore looked lively for the hosts and he played in David Meyler, who then skewed his shot wide with only David de Gea in his path.

However, Meyler was on hand to give City a surprise 2-0 lead minutes later when he picked up a poor clearance from Jonny Evans to convert past the United goalkeeper.

United appeared to be kicked into gear following the second goal and they began to mount increasing pressure on the hosts.

The visitors were able to pull one back as Chris Smalling rose to head home following a free kick, before Wayne Rooney delivered a volley from outside of the area to bring the scores level.

Adnan Januzaj almost put United ahead going into half time when he was slipped in by Danny Welbeck, though his effort was blocked on its way to goal.
