Man Utd boss Solskjaer not crazy about Pogba's penalty taking method

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he's not crazy about Paul Pogba's penalty taking method.

The Frenchman scored from the spot in his side's 2-1 win over Brighton on Saturday, again deploying the stutter-step approach that sees his take an age to approach the ball.

And despite Solskjaer's worries, the interim manager accepts that when Pogba eventually reaches the ball, his ball-striking is sound.

"He has scored quite a few goals hasn't he? So if he's comfortable with it, as long as the ball goes in the net.

"I wouldn't have done it that way, but the way he strikes the ball is good enough," he said.
