Manchester United ensure they didn’t slip
further behind league leaders Manchester City on Sunday, winning 2-1
away to West Bromwich Albion in the English Premier League.
The
Baggies represented difficult opposition to the Red Devils, but Jose
Mourinho’s managed to overcome a determined defence to score twice in
the first half and hold on for the victory despite a late push from the
home side.
The goal heroes were Romelu
Lukaku, who converted a header from a Marcus Rashford cross, and Jesse
Lingard, whose shot was deflected off Ahmed Hegazi to double United’s
advantage.
Although obviously pleased with
the victory, some supporters found points of contention in the
performance, with the likes of Rashford coming under criticism, despite
his assist for Lukaku’s opener.
Fans feel
he is under performing in Mourinho’s starting eleven, with some
suggesting that Anthony Martial should be starting in his place instead.
Is the England international receiving harsh criticism or should the Portuguese rely on the French youngster more?
Supporters took to Twitter to share their thoughts…
Rashford extremely poor today. Herrera awful – nothing like good enough. And Rojo absolutely dire since coming on #mufc— IAG (@IAG80) December 17, 2017
Martial is head and shoulders above Rashford at the moment! #mufc— Jordan Gwilliam (@JGwillz8) December 17, 2017
Last season. It was pretty clear Rashford outplayed Martial. This season, it's the reverse. Martial has played excellent. Who says José doesn't help players get better? #mufc #ManchesterUnited— Charlie Guzmán (@charlieguzman4) December 17, 2017
Disappointed with Rashford. It's a game he should be walking in and showing off, but if he can't play well against bottom of the league, then he's gonna lose future opportunities. He should've been subbed off sooner today. 3 points a positive, but more questions. #MUFC #WBAMUN— Kelsi-Dean Buck (@K_D_B_) December 17, 2017
Is it just me or rashford actually had a poor game today. Besides the cross he did nothing. Wasn’t strong enough at times and doesn’t seem like he’s willing to work and take players on. Needs to improve— Hardev (@devboparai90) December 17, 2017
Rashford isn’t doing brill, he looks lazy! This second half is poor from me, he wants to be better he needs to ignore the boos and keep going at it— George⚽️ (@gww1996) December 17, 2017
Rashford poor again. De Gea bad distribution. Herrera can't pass forward. Lingard provides 1 youtube highlight monthly. Mata typically gone by 2nd half. Lukaku is not supplied with any good chances. Poor corners. Team wastes much time just playing safe passes, back and sideways.— Oduro-Marfo (@KKmarfo) December 17, 2017
Martial is a million times better than Rashford.— Gaz (@BigGazLaw) December 17, 2017
