OMG: FANS FURIOUSLY CALL FOR STAR TO BE DROPPED AND SOLD AFTER VALENCIA DRAW

United remain stuck in a rut after a stuttering goalless draw with Valencia that extends their winless run and keeps the pressure on Jose Mourinho

On another frustrating night for Romelu Lukaku, the Manchester United striker found himself sparking anger among fans.

The forward found himself on the receiving end of plenty of criticism after his display against Valencia.

United remain stuck in a rut after a stuttering goalless draw with Valencia that extends their winless run and keeps the pressure on Jose Mourinho.

Background shenanigans, disjointed displays and poor results have put Old Trafford in the eye of a storm, but Tuesday's Champions League tie offered the chance to divert some of the mounting focus.

Yet United's worst start to a league campaign in 29 years would be compounded by a disappointing 0-0 draw against a Valencia side with just one LaLiga win to their name this season, leading Mourinho's men to be booed at the final whistle.

This was the fourth straight match in all competitions that the Portuguese's side had failed to win, meaning scrutiny will only intensify ahead of Saturday's Premier League visit of Newcastle.

After the match, it was the struggling Lukaku who drew the ire of United fans, with Old Trafford supporters urging for the Belgian star and ex-West Bromwich Albion striker to be dropped.

" How many chances will Lukaku get, the guy is an absolute clown," one wrote.

Another wrote: "Lukaku slows everything up, terrible touch. Gets the odd goal but doesn't add to utds attack at all."

"Lukaku...can’t make or receive a pass, can’t dribble, can’t control ball, can’t score, can’t tackle," another added.

"Drop him!" another urged.

David Beckham and Gary Neville were among a number of United greats in the stands on a night that had started with their former team-mate Paul Scholes castigating "embarrassing" manager Mourinho.

The sense of farce was added to by United's inexplicable underestimation of Manchester's rush-hour traffic, leading to their late arrival and forcing kick-off to be delayed by five minutes.

When things belatedly got under way, Mourinho's side struggled to stamp their authority on their first Champions League home match since Sevilla inflicted a shock defeat in March.

Valencia attempted to replicate their countrymen's heroics at Old Trafford, where the home faithful began chants of "attack, attack, attack" early in the second half and would then cheer the substitution of Alexis Sanchez.

Valencia goalkeeper Neto denied Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku as United pushed late on, with Marcus Rashford hitting the bar as the players showed the hunger Mourinho called for.

How much the manager offered, though, is up for debate.
