Romelu Lukaku got on the scoresheet in his first competitive game for Manchester United last night, but he was on the losing side, as the Red Devils slipped to a 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid in the Super Cup.
The Belgian had a mixed display, as he was on target, but he also missed a golden opportunity too.
United splashed out £75million on the 24-year-old in the hope he will be able to inspire them to the title this term.
Some fans took to Twitter to bemoan his performance.
