Young trolls Pogba over elaborate penalty technique after Man Utd win

Ashley Young has poked fun at Paul Pogba's penalty technique after the midfielder deployed it in Manchester United's Premier League win over Brighton.

The France international has been ridiculed and criticised in equal measure for his approach to spot kicks, which sees him take multiple small steps in his run up before striking the ball.

He has used the technique on a number of occasions this season and took a remarkable 28 steps when he missed a penalty against Everton earlier in the campaign.

However, he was successful at Old Trafford on Saturday as his first-half strike gave the Red Devils the lead on their way to a 2-1 victory.
