Bruno Fernandes reveals Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's penalty rule at Manchester United allowing the first-choice to carry on taking despite missing has been SCRAPPED... as Cristiano Ronaldo was the 12-yard matchwinner against Arsenal

Bruno Fernandes has revealed that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's penalty rule of Manchester United players still be allowing to take spot kicks despite missing the previous one has been scrapped.

Cristiano Ronaldo's 70th minute spot kick sealed a 3-2 victory for the Red Devils over Arsenal, with the 36-year-old taking over penalty duties from compatriot Fernandes, who missed a 12-yard effort against Aston Villa earlier this season.

Under Solskjaer, Fernandes was first-choice penalty taker and would have stepped up from 12 yards against Arsenal had the Norwegian been in charge - as the first-choice taker is still required to take them irrespective of his previous record.
