[Tweets] Lukaku Sends Message To Fans As Man Utd Players Celebrate Beating Basel

Some of the Manchester United players have been reacting on social media after kicking off their Champions League campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory over FC Basel last night.

Marouane Fellaini came off the bench to open the scoring with a close-range header before Romelu Lukaku continued his fine start to life at United by making it 2-0 shortly after half-time.

Marcus Rashford was introduced as a second half substitute and the youngster marked his Champions League debut with a goal to wrap-up a routine 3-0 win for United at Old Trafford.

The victory means United top Group A on goal difference after CSKA Moscow beat Benfica 2-1 in Portugal and some of the players have now been reacting on social media.

Lukaku took to Twitter to send a message of thanks to the United fans for their support and to express his delight at opening their Champions League campaign with a win.

Rashford, Fellaini, Jesse Lingard, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Chris Smalling, Ashley Young and David De Gea also posted messages on Twitter as the United players celebrated their return to Europe’s elite competition.
