Marouane Fellaini and Daley Blind, two midfielders, scored tonight to help Manchester United salvage points in their visit to The Hawthorns. However, what happened on social media right before Fellaini scored is the real story here. The West Bromwich Albion official Twitter account, took a sarcastic shot at Marouane when he came on in the second half.
Fellaini has now taken his tracksuit off, fortunately he has a Man Utd strip on underneath #WBAMUN

Fellaini has been an expensive flop at Old Trafford; there’s no denying it. As David Moyes’ only summer 2013 purchase, he is another reminder of what a disaster hire David Moyes truly was. But Fellaini showed up the West Brom account by doing this a few minutes later:

Here’s the video of Daley Blind’s goal by the way.
This draw felt like a loss today for United; especially when you see tougher games that are right ahead for the Red Devils. The “easing into it” beginning of the season period is now over. United’s failure to pick up three points at WBA today dropped them from fourth to sixth place. Here’s the latest standings, and here’s what’s ahead:
