Manchester United fans ask same furious question after Paul Pogba penalty miss

Manchester United fans have reacted angrily to the change of penalty taker for the clash against Wolves.

The Red Devils took the lead when Anthony Martial smashed home Marcus Rashford's neat pass but Wolves hit back in the second half.

Ruben Neves scored a wonderful goal from outside the box which went in off the bar and was finally awarded after a VAR delay.

But United soon had an opportunity to retake the lead after Paul Pogba was tripped up inside the box.

The call was again reviewed on VAR before it was deemed to be a correct decision.

But rather than last week during the 4-0 win over Chelsea when Rashford fired into the net at Old Trafford from the spot, Pogba stepped up to take the penalty.

The France star went for power and the penalty was saved by Wolves keeper Rui Patrício, leaving fans furious about the change.
