It just wasn’t Romelu Lukaku’s night.
Following, Manchester United‘s 1-0 defeat to Juventus, the striker’s goal drought now stretches to eight games.
Ahead of the game, the Belgium international said he is working on improving his understanding with his team-mates and things will click when this happens.
Lukaku has scored four Premier League goals this season, but those watching him in action in the Champions League were not impressed as you can see below.

I remember reading tweets that Lukaku stays behind at training to teach Rashford and Martial how to finish. Finish what? Finish their food?

That’s it. Lukaku has to be dropped. There is no way we can continue to accept performances like that. Promote Mason Greenwood, play Alexis there, anything. That cannot be accepted on a weekly basis.

Lukaku plays like that guy in school who never took his jacket & bag off when playing football at lunch

As soon as someone passes to Lukaku, I instantly know that we’ve lost possession.

Lukaku needs to spend less time lifting weights, no? He doesn't need to be as big as he is. pic.twitter.com/RPyw4nUwoS

Jose Mourinho, though admitting the situation was not perfect at the moment, defended his striker. “A complete understanding that the player is a fantastic professional that wants to give everything,” the manager said after the match.
“Not just with the goals he is not scoring but also in his confidence, in his movement, his touch. He is not linking the game well with the team.
“But he is our striker and he a is a good striker we believe in. Could I play Rashford there? But then I don’t have a winger as in this moment we have a difficult situation.
“Romelu is a hard-working guy and a good professional. One day the goals will arrive and the confidence will be back.”
