Greenwood shines, Pogba flops as Man United narrowly avoid Rochdale upset

MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United needed penalties to scrape past Rochdale in the Carabao Cup after a dismal 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. Substitute Daniel James scored the winning spot kick after Sergio Romero had saved from Jimmy Keohane.

Rochdale teenager Luke Matheson, who doesn't turn 17 until next week and only left school in the summer, had earlier cancelled out Mason Greenwood's opener in normal time to send the tie to a penalty shootout.

James' successful penalty ensured Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side a place in the fourth round -- but only just.
