- Lukaku scores twice as Man Utd defeat West Ham.
- Nemanja Matic shines.
- Convincing performance from Man Utd.
In a move that has solidly declared their intentions and confirmation as title contenders, Manchester United thrashed West Ham 4-0 in a fast paced sunday evening thriller.
From the kick off, Man Utd looked sharp and focussed to get the job done and most importantly, the team showed a level of discipline that was absent last season - the discipline to stay in control of the game when it was still goalless.
After consistently troubling the West Ham defenders, Romelu Lukaku showed the class and prowess he was bought for as he picked up a brilliant pass from Rashford and tucked in a superb goal from close range.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan's cross couldn't have found a better head in the 52nd minute as Lukaku nodded his second goal of the game into the back of the net.
The Third and Fourth goals were scored by Martial and Pogba respectively as they commenced what is expected to be Man Utd's best season since Sir Alex Ferguson resigned.
In a match where the attackers had a fruitful day, it's hard for other players to shine but this wasn't the case for new signing Nemanja Matic who defended the midfield region like he was born to do so. His excellence on the day allowed Paul Pogba to show off his flair and skills and overall looked liberated.
David de Gea was also called into action a few times and he made very decent saves showing just why Real Madrid are ever interested in the Spanish goal-stopper.
Could this be Man Utd's best season since the exit of Sir Alex? Can Mourinho go on to lift the Premier League trophy with Man Utd in his second season as he has done with his previous clubs?
