Swansea 0-2 Hull
Match of the Day's Phil Neville thinks Mike Phelan should be given the permanent manager's job.
Phelan, 53, was promoted from assistant boss to caretaker manager when Steve Bruce resigned in July.
"He can handle the situation at Hull and the players are playing for him," Neville, who worked with Phelan at Manchester United, said.
"He's done an incredible job so far.
"Mick's galvanised that team spirit. They've had a horrendous pre-season. They've got no squad and he's had kids on the bench.
"If you talk about someone who deserves the opportunity then it's Mick Phelan."
