Le Tissier slams Man Utd midfielder Pogba over his penalty style

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier has slammed Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba over his penalty style.

Le Tissier missed only one of 48 penalties in his professional career.

He told the Mirror: “Pogba's record is far worse than (Marcus) Rashford's.

“I was never overly keen on Pogba's run-up because it used to take so long, it became a bit of theatre and he wasn't taking it seriously.

“It was all about trying to promote himself as being the big showman and the big 'Here I am' without concentrating on the job in hand.

“The way Rashford takes penalties is actually far better and if I was the manager he would be the designated penalty-taker."
