Manchester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has said he will not speak to Paul Pogba about his slow penalty run-up, after he missed from the spot against Southampton on Saturday.
Pogba was given an opportunity to add to his account in stoppage time of United’s thrilling 3-2 victory over the Saints, despite Romelu Lukaku being on a hat-trick.
However, the France midfielder hit his effort straight down the centre of goal and Angus Gunn was able to save with his feet.
Asked if he would be encouraging Pogba to change his style, Solskjaer told Sky Sports: “I just said to him there, “Just get ready for the next one because you’re going to take that one as well”.
“I’ve missed penalties. He’s a confident boy, he wants to go and take the next one. You want that character in boys.
“Today was one of the ones he really blasted, normally he just places them, so he’ll be okay.”
