OPINION
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s incredible unbeaten run as Man United manager almost came to an end tonight, and fans were fuming about the display from striker Romelu Lukaku.
Solskjaer’s men were hosting Burnley and were on a high after winning every game since their new manager arrived.
However, they had to settle for a 2-2 draw tonight, which will actually feel like a victory after going 2-0 down in front of the disbelieving home fans.
Lukaku was handed a starting place tonight with on-form Marcus Rashford moving out wide and it was the first big mis-step from the baby-faced assassin, with the big striker putting in a dreadful display up top.
He was taken off for Alexis Sanchez in the 67th minute but Chris Wood scored Burnley’s second in the 81st minute to seemingly put the tie beyond United.
They proved their character however when Jesse Lingard won a penalty that Paul Pogba dispatched, before Sanchez set Victor Lindelof up for an equaliser in stoppage time.
Here are the best reactions to Lukaku’s performance tonight:

Lukaku starts and suddenly we're losing for the first time in forever.
Sell Lukaku.
