Solskjaer defends Man Utd penalty system after Pogba sees spot-kick saved at Wolves

Rui Patricio's stop against the Frenchman cost United two points but their manager says he and Marcus Rashford will continue as designated takers

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has attempted to quell a potential storm around Manchester United’s missed spot-kick in the 1-1 draw at Wolves on Monday night, stating that Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford are both designated penalty takers.

Anthony Martial’s first-half goal was cancelled out in style by Ruben Neves before Pogba won a spot-kick after a fine dribble into the area.

Pogba and Rashford conversed before it was taken, as they had done before Rashford scored against Chelsea in United’s previous game.
