Paul Pogba, Riyad Mahrez, Michael Owen and more: The worst penalty takers in Premier League history

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer does not believe Manchester United's spot-kick situation needs addressing despite Paul Pogba's penalty miss costing his side victory at Wolves.

Fresh from opening their Premier League campaign with an impressive triumph against Chelsea, United hit the road looking to avoid a third Molineux loss in five months.

Solskjaer's side were vastly improved from those 2-1 losses in the FA Cup and Premier League earlier in the year, but it could have been even better than Monday's hard-fought 1-1 draw.

Ruben Neves' stunner cancelled out a fine Anthony Martial opener and eyebrows were raised when Pogba stepped up to take the spot-kick he won, rather than last week's penalty scorer Marcus Rashford.

Rui Patricio saved the France midfielder's thumping effort - his fourth failed penalty since the start of last season – which means Pogba has one of the worst penalty taking records in the history of the Premier League. But which players have an even poorer record?

Check the above gallery to see the worst penalty takers in Premier League history.
