# “Why does Morata get more credit?” – Man United fans react to 24-year-old’s goal scoring display

**Manchester United picked up three points at The Hawthorns with a 2-1 win which had the Man United fans in the Transfer Tavern on the edge of their seats, biting their nails towards the end of the game.**

It was a very nervy end after Gareth Barry scored with thirteen minutes left to play.

Manchester United had led after first half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard.

Lukaku scored another, against his former loan club West Brom – it was his third goal in four games after taking plenty of criticism.

The Belgium international headed home the opener to prove that his dry run in front of goal was well and truly over.

Manchester United fans had mixed opinions on Lukaku’s display with some praising him for returning to form and others saying that he does not turn up for the bigger matches.

Here are how the Man United fans reacted on Twitter to Lukaku’s performance.
