Hull City boss Steve Bruce: 'I'm due a result against Manchester United'

Hull City boss Steve Bruce believes that he is "due a result" against Manchester United ahead of tomorrow's clash at Old Trafford.

The 53-year-old, who played for United from 1987 to 1996, believes that without Sir Alex Ferguson at United's helm, Hull have more of a chance of ending their five-game winless run.

"I think I'm due a result and maybe without Sir Alex being there, I might have a chance," BBC Sport quotes Bruce as saying. "I've been going a long time and I've never been able to beat them. I've had a couple of draws but that's about it.

"I need everyone to play to a level that will cause Manchester United problems and hopefully we can catch them on a bit of an off-day."

United, who are now under the guidance of manager Louis van Gaal, have won their last two Premier League games against Crystal Palace and Arsenal.
