Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford have each missed from the spot, with the former's miss denying United vital points against Wolves at Molineux.

"I think it's the type of players we've got," Solskjaer explained when asked why the Old Trafford dwellers have won four penalties already.
"They've got quick feet, good skills and most of them haven't even been debatable. They've got skills and when we get Antho [Martial] back as well, I'm sure we'll have loads of claims. And with VAR (Video Assistant Referee) you'll get more than you don't," he continued.
