Manchester United got off to a perfect start in the Premier League today, sweeping aside West Ham in emphatic fashion.
Jose Mourinho gave home debuts to two of his three summer signings, with Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic both impressing upon their introduction to the Old Trafford crowd.
West Ham looked to contain United’s attacking threat but the task proved to be much too difficult for them, as Lukaku became the protagonist in what was a humbling defeat.
The Belgian forward converted a swift counter-attack in the first half, before glancing home a header near the start of the second half. He was a thorn in West Ham’s side for the duration of the game and showed his capabilities throughout.
Anthony Martial came off the bench to calmly tuck away United’s third of the afternoon, before Paul Pogba added insult to injury, making it 4-0.
