Manchester United fans went wild over the performance of Nemanja Matic in their 4-0 defeat of West Ham United on Sunday.
Although Romelu Lukaku grabbed the headlines with his debut brace, the Serbian, who moved to Old Trafford from Chelsea for £40m, was awarded the man of the match award. And Red Devils fans took to Twitter to express their joy and in some instances, tease Chelsea fans over their club's choice to sell the 28-year old.
Matic is going to be one of the key signings of the summer by anyone #mufc

The finish from Lukaku, the assist from Rashford, the interception from Matic

Yes Romelu lad but Matic has been absolutely magnificent so far. A £40M bargain.

Mourinho will be over the moon with that goal. Matic signed to break up the play, Lukaku signed to finish the chances off. Done in one move!

Shout out to Matic for setting that all up with his pressing and block tackle in the middle of the pitch. Superb break at pace. Lovely.

Brilliant from Matic! Great to see United pressing so aggressively and not giving West Ham space. More goals now please

Matic and Lukaku both play a big part in Man United's first goal of the season. Doesn't get much better than that
