He's only trying to assist the opposition again!

Yes I was annoyed at the time but then I remembered that it's totally normal for any player to miss a chance and I calmed down.
He misses quite a lot more than the odd chance, to be fair. He has scored quite a few, but if we're going to criticize Zlatan's performance last year for missing too many chances, despite scoring 28, Lukaku has to be held to the same standards, if not higher, considering his price tag.
People criticising Zlatan last year were idiots. He was excellent last season - one of the few players who performed well during the season.
No striker scores every chance presented to them. People need to stop blaming Romelu for Sunday.
Price tag means nothing. Players shouldn't be judged on how much they cost, the club should.
Amazing ball control as always Romelu
Lukaku will stay as United main striker for at least the next 4 years.
Give him some rest, I'm not sure what Jose is playing at. He can't run no more.
One chance one goal against the minnows.
I am happy enough if he atleast scores against minnows constantly for now. Others can score in big games.
Or he doesn't exactly appreciate the great encouragement he has been recieving from the fans lately
Did well for the goal but thought he was pretty poor apart from that, clumsy challenge on Ake too which looked nasty.
Goals against current top 6 since 2014/15 - this is before this season started and I copied this from a post I made in a watsapp group with United fan friends of mine at the time.

Up to you to decide which ones are strikers as some are just attackers
Think he's been one of our better players even without the goal. Been very involved (which everyone wants/moans about). His passing has been poor though (refuses to keep it simple though).
I'm glad for him that he got his goal because other than that, he's been absolutely horrific.
He just needs to get mad, angry, fired up or whatever
Flat track bully after all. 
He seems to be the EPL version of Higuain, to some extent.

Nothing out of the ordinary here. He scores a goal but doesn't do enough in terms of hold up play or playing combinations with his team mates. He's like the opposite version of Welbeck.
Thank god.
Welbeck gets a lot of hate, but we've won league titles with him performing his role. I hope to see us do the same with Lukaku performing his.
Lukaku makes you appreciate how good Ruud's link up play was. He's not great with the ball at his feet is he?
Ah well I couldn't give two shits as long as he's banging them in!

1 League title, with Robin Van Persie about 50% of the reason we won it.
Yeah I think Welbeck scored 1 league goal that year too!
Now there's a guy I wish we had right now.
The problem with Lukaku is, if he's not scoring. He doesn't offer too much else. I know Jose talks about his movement. But I don't see us utilising that space around him.
I'll wait till the end of the season. But worrying so far. Hopefully he pulls it together.

Poor except for the goal.
yeah, erm... no.
He clearly needs a rest. Looked absolutely knackered when they zoomed in on him on the corner we won around 92 minutes.
Good goal, atrocious general play.
The only way he seems to score if it's put on a platter for him inside the 6 yard box or if there's a decent cross. He might be one of the best headers of the ball but really might be tired as he doesn't seem to provide an outlet to hold the ball, win the ball, or create chances.
We need him to fire on all cylinders this month and for the rest of the season if we want to have any hope of catching City and going far in the champions league.

As long as he keep banging winning goals like this one, can't be arsed about other aspects that much... just keep them coming, Rom.
What was Welbeck's role exactly?

Give the guy a rest. During our last corner he was exhausted. He's played almost every game, leave him on the bench this weekend
He needs a rest and we are in very busy period with Pogba missing already.
Silent domination.
Contributing in building up attacks, I guess. Playing neat little combinations with his team mates. I like to see things like that. That being said, I like seeing us win, and Lukaku's goal did provide us with one today.
But our general play just seems so laboured at times.
Match-winner tonight, thankfully.
It was a great header for the goal, which he really needs to be doing a bit more as he can be a bit terrible at times.

Did well for the header but was dreadful apart from that.
Marginally he was better in 2nd half. Badly needs a rest though.
