Hull boss Bruce explains dropping Huddlestone

Hull City boss Steve Bruce has explained dropping Tom Huddlestone for defeat at Manchester United.

Huddlestone has struggled as Hull have slid down the table.

He said: "I just thought he can have a look at it, he can sit out and have a look at it, freshen him up a little bit maybe and let's hope it works.

"I haven't said that he's having a bad season, but it's fair to say he's not hit the heights he hit last year but then he set unbelievable standards.

"But Tom Huddlestone will come again. I have no doubt about that."
