Solskjaer says penalty misses 'part and parcel' of the game after second for Man Utd in two matches

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has played down concerns over Manchester United’s prowess from the penalty spot after a second miss from 12 yards in two games cost them again against Crystal Palace.

Marcus Rashford hit the post on Saturday with his team down 1-0 against the Eagles. Daniel James equalised at Old Trafford, before a Patrick van Aanholt goal in stoppage time stole ensured Palace took all three points back to South London.

Paul Pogba saw his penalty saved in a 1-1 draw with Wolves on Monday, after taking the ball from Rashford, who had converted a spot kick in United’s 4-0 win over Chelsea to open the season.
