Man Utd manager Solskjaer backs Rashford for penalty duties

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Marcus Rashford will take Manchester United's next penalty.

Paul Pogba had his spot-kick saved against Wolves last Monday, with some criticising his decision to take the ball away from Rashford.

The England international then had a penalty saved in Saturday's loss to Crystal Palace, but Solskjaer will stick with the striker going forward.

"Fine margins," he told MUTV when asked about the penalty.

"We're disappointed but I'm sure Marcus will look at his penalty again but he'll definitely step up again."
