MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United missed a chance to gain some ground on its rivals for Champions League qualification by drawing 0-0 at home to relegation-threatened Hull on Wednesday, the latest setback for Jose Mourinho's side in the Premier League.

It was a third straight league draw for United, which dominated the match at Old Trafford but failed to break through because of a mixture of poor finishing and inspired goalkeeping by Eldin Jakupovic.

The top four — Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool — all dropped points on Tuesday but United couldn't take advantage against a team that started the game in last place. United stayed sixth, four off fourth-place Liverpool and 14 points behind leader Chelsea.

Burnley and Stoke had already held United to draws at Old Trafford this season, despite being under pressure for most of the game, and this was another 90 minutes of frustration for United.

"It's deja vu," said Mourinho, who abruptly cut short some of his post-match media interviews in a clear show of unhappiness.

Hull even came close to winning, with Lazar Markovic — one of a host of January recruits by new manager Marco Silva — curling a shot against the post on a counterattack.

Juan Mata had United's best chance, but Jakupovic produced a brilliant low save to deny the substitute in the 73rd minute. Jakupovic also denied Paul Pogba with flying saves in both first halves, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic wasted a host of half-chances.

"We are very disappointed," Ibrahimovic said. "We had great chances to score and we should have won. It was a very important game."

To make matters worse for United, in-form centre back Phil Jones hobbled off in the 55th minute having pulled up sprinting to make a covering interception.

This was the teams' third meeting in the past month, having recently played each other over two legs in the League Cup semifinals.

Hull's players weren't overawed in those games — they won the second leg at the KCOM Stadium to only narrowly lose out on aggregate — and they defended superbly here, especially centre back Harry Maguire.

"We played like a team, with a great attitude, spirit and character," said Silva, who has brought some organization to the Hull side. "What we showed tonight again, I am happy. Sometimes you have to suffer in moments but we have to play as a team.

"Our goalkeeper had a good night, but I prefer to talk about all the team."

The point lifted Hull to next-to-last place, with 15 matches remaining.
