#3 Lukaku's continued failure to score
Romelu Lukaku has not scored at home this season. He has just 4 goals from 16 games in all competitions. For a club the stature of United, this is simply unacceptable. The Belgian has attempted 21 shots so far, with only 10 of those on target. Incidentally, he has missed 5 big chances in the Premier League already!
Lukaku drew a blank in the first game against Leicester City, but scored his first of the season against Brighton. He failed to score against Spurs in the following game, but then scored 3 goals in the next two games. Since then though, the Belgian has failed to find the back of the net in 7 games in the Premier League and 11 games in total. Infact, he has not scored since the middle of September! Against Palace, the chances were too less, yet Lukaku did score once, only for it to be correctly ruled offside. He had little impact on the game, even though his hold up play was good.
While the defense has been drawing attention, United's lack of goals has been a concern too. With a better goal scorer leading them, United could have picked up a few more crucial points already this season and Mourinho should be worried about his big striker's lack of form.
