Manchester United confirmed their contender status in the EPL, and trust us, we're not getting ahead of ourselves.
West Ham United didn't stand a chance against Mourinho's well-oiled machine, with new signings Lukaku and Matic being the stand outs today.
In fact, let's kick it off with a couple of facts regarding the Belgian striker. Lukaku's EPL debut with the Red Devils will be remembered, as he managed to make history with his brace.

If Man Utd's second most expensive signing of all time stole the show, the one that holds that record had to join the party. Here's how Lukaku managed to earn some praise with his late goal.

In terms of opening games won, no one can match Manchester United's total. The same goes to West Ham, but the other way around.
Manchester United wins its 17th Premier League opener, most of any team.

And if you thought José Mourinho didn't achieve a record of his own, The Special One has reason to celebrate this victory.
