Paul Pogba Hints at Change to Penalty Technique, Jose Mourinho Backs Frenchman

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has said he may need to alter his penalty technique after Jordan Pickford saved his spot-kick in Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton, but Jose Mourinho has backed his star to recover.

Pogba saw his stuttered spot-kick initially saved by Pickford at Old Trafford, only for the Frenchman to tuck home the rebound. He conceded in his post-match comments that the drawn-out approach may have become predictable, per MailOnline's Jack Gaughan: "I was lucky. I always try and destabilise the keeper, maybe they know how I take penalties, maybe I should practise to change it, if the 'keepers know my step.
