MANCHESTER UNITED fans are furious that Paul Pogba took a penalty against Wolves instead of Marcus Rashford… and missed.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side had the perfect opportunity to regain the lead after Pogba was fouled by Conor Coady inside the box.
Supporters expected Rashford to step up to the spot after he scored a penalty against Chelsea last weekend.
But after he had climbed back to his feet, Pogba decided to take the responsibility upon himself.
He has missed four penalties in the Premier League since the start of last season – which is the most out of any player in the competition.
The French World Cup winner struck the ball well, but Rui Patricio managed to parry it away to keep the score locked at 1-1.
Furious fans went wild on Twitter after Pogba’s monumental miss.
Gary Lineker even tweeted: “Inexplicable that Pogba should take the penalty after Rashford took one and scored last week. As a striker that would absolutely do my head in.”
One fan said: “How on earth is Pogba allowed to take that penalty. This is absolute nonsense.”
While one claimed: “He is an absolute waste of time please get rid of Pogba.”
And one posted: “Baffles me why Pogba is taking penalties ahead of Rashford to be honest, surely after banging one in last week he should be on them.”
The score at the Molineux Stadium was locked at 1-1 after Ruben Neves’ screamer cancelled out Anthony Martial’s opener.
