'It’s not like anarchy, we've nominated two' - Solskjaer defends having both Pogba & Rashford on penalties

Manchester United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has defended his decision to have both Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba on penalty kick duties.

The Red Devils squandered the chance to earn all three points during a Premier League clash against Wolves on Monday, with Pogba failing to convert a spot-kick midway through the second half.

The Frenchman insisted on taking the penalty having drawn the initial foul in the box, after a brief exchange with Rashford, who netted from 12 yards against Chelsea the previous week.
