Man Utd boss Solskjaer reveals designated penalty taker

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Paul Pogba is their designated penalty taker.

Pogba struck from the spot in the 2-1 win over Brighton.

Solskjaer said, “Paul is the penalty taker but we have got players who want to take penalties and that is the key. If they want to take it, they can argue among themselves but Paul is the nominated one.

"He scores them, which is what matters. I wouldn't have done it that way. I would have run to the ball and smashed it, but he kept his calm. It took two minutes before he was allowed to take it so that shows how composed he is and I think he enjoys playing football as wll. In front of the Stretford End, so why don't you just enjoy it?"
