Romelu Lukaku may have rediscovered his goal scoring boots with an effort against CSKA Moscow in midweek, but the Belgian proved to be more effective at the wrong end of the pitch for Manchester United against rivals Manchester City, this evening.
The former Everton striker was at fault for David Silva's opening goal and then again for Nicolas Otamendi's effort that put City back into the lead after Marcus Rashford had earlier cancelled out Siva's opener.
And with Lukaku proving to be ineffective in front of goal, with United threatening very little throughout the top of the table clash, very few fans were impressed with the Belgium international's performance.

At the time of writing, City still lead 2-1, so there could be another twist in the tale and Lukaku could redeem himself by rescuing the game for United.
The Belgian, a £75 million arrival from Everton in the sumer, started the season in prolific form and already has 13 goals in 23 appearances for United, but his confidence in front of goal has looked a long way from his early season best over the past month or so.
