Romelu Lukaku made his competitive debut for Manchester United against Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup on Tuesday night.The Belgian striker, who cost the Red Devils a cool £75 million earlier this summer, had a mixed night in Skopje.Although the 24-year-old scored United’s consolation goal in the second half, he also proceeded to miss an absolute sitter, had an anonymous opening 45 minutes and was blasted as ‘braindead’ on social media after THIS moment involving Ander Herrera."It's a difficult job to play against a team who dominate possession,” Jose Mourinho, per United’s official website, told reporters after the 2-1 defeat. “He tried.“Of course he missed an open goal but he scored his goal and had a good fight against two central defenders. I’m happy with how he fits within an amazing group."

However, there was no mention from Mourinho about Lukaku’s shambolic throw-in during the closing stages of the match.

Nobody on Twitter could quite believe that a professional footballer could take such a bad throw-in.

Twitter reaction to Lukaku's throw-in

Here’s how Twitter reacted…

It’s safe to assume that Lukaku won’t be on throw-in duty when United face West Ham at Old Trafford this weekend.

Although with a bit of practice in training over the next few days, he might get the hand of it.

Mourinho ready for West Ham

Asked if his side are ready for the start of the new Premier League season, Mourinho added: "Yes, we deserve the rest tomorrow and on Thursday we will start, we go for it with everything. I’m so happy to be the manager of these guys, I told them a few days ago that during my long career I never had a group that I liked so much, like I like them.

“I’m really happy to be with them and I’m going to fight with them all the way, so let's go on Sunday. Old Trafford is waiting for us and I think Old Trafford has a reason to be behind us."
