Hull FC are set to investigate the technical problems that affected Friday’s Betfred Super League meeting with Castleford Tigers at the MKM Stadium, talkSPORT reports.

This comes just days before the newly promoted side host their first Premier League fixture of the season against Manchester United.

The stadium’s two large screens could not be used during Hull FC’s 18-14 defeat to Castleford. The match clock was also unavailable, creating an unusual situation for supporters and players inside the ground.

Hull FC, who have shared the MKM Stadium with Hull City since 2003, recently confirmed that they would work with the stadium’s operations team to establish what went wrong and prevent a repeat.

The club apologised to supporters affected by the problems and said the issues were beyond its control.

Meanwhile, the Tigers will welcome the Red Devils on Saturday for their first Premier League match at home after nearly a decade away from the top-flight.

Hull City beat Middlesbrough in a dramatic Championship play-off final, with Oli McBurnie scoring a late winner to send the club back to the Premier League.

Manager Sergej Jakirovic has since overseen a busy summer of recruitment as Hull prepare for the challenge of staying in the top flight. 

Lucas Gourna-Douath and Joe Gelhardt are among the latest additions, joining from Red Bull Salzburg and Leeds United respectively.

Hull have also broken their transfer record twice this summer to bring in Australian prospect Lucas Herrington before signing Senegal international defender Nobel Mendy.

Greece goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis and Sweden left-back Elliot Stroud have also joined the squad.

Jakirovic has previously spoken about how much managing in the Premier League means to him. 

After being tasked with keeping Hull in the Championship, he joked during the club’s promotion celebrations that he had “failed” because the Tigers were heading to the top flight instead.

While the Tigers now prepare for their Premier League return, Hull FC have their own concerns to address. They sit 12th in the Super League table with only four rugby league matches left.
