Hull City left-back Andy Robertson says that he and his teammates are already acknowledging the philosophy and ideas of new manager Marco Silva.

The Portuguese made an impressive start to his life in England as the Tigers defeated fellow relegation contenders Swansea City 2-0 on the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Now, Silva is preparing his team for the EFL Cup semi-final first leg clash against Manchester United on Tuesday.

"My first impressions have been very good," Robertson said.

"Since the day he came in, it has been a little bit hectic because he came in Thursday and we had the game Saturday.

"He was obviously trying to get his ideas across, we knew he couldn't get them all across by the time Saturday came. We were all realistic.

"He just said to go into it with an open mind and if we do that he can improve it and all the players believe that.

"It's never nice when people lose their jobs, especially the good people who did, unfortunately, but that's the way of the football world. We all know that.

"I suppose we never really had that change under Mick. He kept most of the staff the same - now there is completely new people.

"It is the first time I have ever worked under a foreign manager so it is a wee bit different, but all the players are buying into it.

"All his ideas are coming across well and hopefully we can show that in the coming games."
