Twitter explodes as Martial and Lukaku tear apart CSKA Moscow

Manchester United eviscerated CSKA Moscow 4-1, a scoreline that flatters the Muscovites, and at centre stage were Romely Lukaku and Anthony Martial; both of whom were terrific in attack.

Nemanja Matic's commanding display and the fluidity with which United switched to a back three would have pleased the manager no end as well.

As you'd expect, Twitter just couldn't get enough

Lukaku has a terrible first touch. It keeps bouncing off him and into the net ?

Romelu Lukaku is into double figures for Manchester United. In September.

Plus, this attitude. WOOF!

Romelu Lukaku: “I just want to win trophies. Goals, I’ll keep to myself, but I just want to win.”

Perfect attitude. pic.twitter.com/xLKcPzjBSP

But by God! did Anthony Martial steal the show:

Martial is ruthless. These men just got back from driving tractors and picking up snow, and he's making them pick bodies now.

Martial can make Russia lose another war. He's too cold.

Martial ???

And it all started with one of the best fullbacks in the world:

Martial started pre season with breaking Carvajal's waist..we should have known his plans then

This, though, is an incredible stat.

Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford & Romelu Lukaku have already combined for 20 goals this season before the end of September. Incredible.

You have got to feel for Igor Akinfeev, though.

Akinfeev could’ve stopped Germany from scoring 7 past Brazil..
— Jíthu (@VivaMourinho) September 27, 2017

honestly Akinfeev has saved them from losing 8-0

Igor Akinfeev's Champions League nightmare continues... ?

4??5?? matches without a clean sheet ???? pic.twitter.com/hk8Hgf7qfl
— Eurosport UK (@Eurosport_UK) September 27, 2017

Igor Akinfeev has failed to keep a Champions League clean sheet in almost 11 years.

45 games ago.
