Manchester United: Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been addressing the ladies and gentlemen of the Fourth estate ahead of Manchester United’s match against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford tomorrow. Quizzed on Paul Pogba’s controversial penalty miss against Wolves on Monday night, he remains unfazed by the fact that the midfielder, who has missed four spot-kicks in 11 attempts for Manchester United, took the latest one ahead of Marcus Rashford. “I’m sure you’re going to see Paul Pogba score a penalty for Man United again,” he said. “Definitely. Let’s see when we get the next one. We’re practising penalties still and Marcus and Paul are still on them.”
On the subject of having two designated penalty takers, Solskjær had this to say: “It’s not that I’ve left it to the players to sort out, we’ve nominated two. It’s not like there’s anarchy and do whatever you want. Last season we had Marcus, Jesse [Lingard], Paul, who all scored penalties, probably more as well. There’s absolutely no fighting among them. We’re disappointed that we didn’t win the game but the talk is always more difficult when you don’t get a result.”
