Honestly, Romelu Lukaku should have done much better this game. Fulham were down, they looked out of sorts and Le Marshall and Denis Odoi seemed like they were there to aid Manchester United's forward players.

Despite all of that, when all the odds were in his favor after Martial's goal, Lukaku should have been more willing when Mata had the ball down the right when Luke Shaw looked to cross it in and during counters. Apart from one surging run that won the penalty for United, there was hardly anything substantial to show.

The same goes for Alexis Sanchez, who just doesn't seem to be finding the perfect final ball or the finish. The left winger enjoyed a lot of space in the final third down his favored side, but not once did he manage to weave through the defense or produce a telling pass.

At this rate, it clearly looks like Martial and Rashford will remain the first choice for Solksjaer.
