Manchester United v West Bromwich Albion - Premier League
Romelu Lukaku missed crucial chances

Romelu Lukaku had been impressive for United in the last few weeks but failed to make the difference against West Brom. The Belgian missed easy chances in the first half and had he found the net, United could have capped the night off with another win.

Ben Foster had a night to remember as he put in a solid performance, also denying a crucial Chris Smalling header in the second half.

Another issue to address upfront for Mourinho next season is to find a suitable backup striker. With Zlatan gone and the Special One visibly reluctant on using either of Martial or Rashford as the spearhead of United attack, roping in a decent forward will be an important task during the summer transfer window.
