Half-Time Report: Hull City relegated as it stands

Hull City will be relegated from the Premier League as it stands, with the Tigers currently goalless with Manchester United at the interval of their final-day match.

Hull City will be relegated from the Premier League as results stand on the final afternoon of the season.

The Tigers need to beat Manchester United at the KC Stadium to stand any chance of survival, but the score is goalless at the break.

The home team started on the front foot and had the first attempt on goal when Dame N'Doye met a cross from Robbie Brady inside two minutes, but his header was straight into the arms of Victor Valdes.

Wayne Rooney came close down the other end less than 30 seconds later, but the striker's effort clipped the top of the crossbar.

The match continued to bring chances at either end as Nikica Jelavic beat the offside trap before lifting a cross over Valdes, but Chris Smalling was on hand to head clear, before Michael Dawson headed a corner wide of the post.

Hull had the ball in the back of the net in the 18th minute when Paul McShane poked home from close range, but the centre-back was ruled offside, much to the relief of Valdes, who failed to collect a deep free kick.

The home side had another golden chance one minute later, but Valdes pulled off a stunning save to deny Ahmed Elmohamady. Hull then had the ball in the back of the net for a second time from the resulting corner, but this time N'Doye was offside.

United began to enjoy possession as the half developed, but the home side continued to look the most likely, with Jelavic threatening what was a high defensive line.
