 In the FA Cup third round, United lost 3–0 at home to League One side Swansea City.During the game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 17 March 2007, Hulse suffered a broken leg in a collision with Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Čech and was ruled out for the rest of the season.This coincided with a poor run of form that saw United slide down the table and into relegation trouble.
