Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku both missed chances in a matter of seconds in Manchester United's 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid.

And well, social media poked fun at the duo, just as you knew they would...

Los Blancos were much the better team for large spells of the Super Cup and took the lead through Casemiro in the first half.

There was suspicions that the goal was offside, with Steve McManaman suggesting the referee had made a mistake on BT Sport: "Officially he is offside so if it gets given offside, and you see these angles, you say fair enough," said the former Liverpool man.

"But the referee's assistant can't be that accurate all the time, one will slip by."

Real Madrid extended their lead after the break through Isco, before United eventually grabbed a consolation goal.

Lukaku was the man who found the back of the net, much to the delight of the travelling Red Devils supporters in the crowd.

However, the Belgian was also a starring character in one of the more embarrassing moments from the match.

Following a Pogba header on goal, which Keylor Navas managed to save spectacularly, Lukaku took a shot... and well, smashed it over the bar.

Queue football fans making a very obvious joke, suggesting the club have wasted their money on the duo. Bit unfair if you ask us.
