Addressing the Media Coverage & Massive Overreaction to Paul Pogba Missing a Penalty

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer "has decided that Marcus Rashford will be the club’s designated penalty taker" moving forward, following Paul Pogba's missed penalty against Wolves.

That's the latest from Neil Custis at the Sun on Wednesday. It's a believable top line, but nonetheless mixed in with some incredible sensationalism. The miss has dominated the headlines since the match on Monday night, with Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville particularly taking issue with how the pair decided who was taking the penalty.

Sky dedicated a huge chunk of their post-match coverage to the quiet conversation Rashford and Pogba held on the pitch, with Neville himself initially taking issue with Pogba's desire to make sure it was his responsibility.
