Manchester United endured a frustrating night at the Mollineaux Stadium on Monday night. The Red Devils were facing Wolverhampton Wanderers in what was their second Premier League match of the season.
Antony Martial gave Ole Gunnar’s side a first-half lead with a clean left-footed strike but the home side leveled matters with a sensational goal from Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves early in the second half. His shot from just outside the box curled past David De Gea in the Manchester United goal and went in off the crossbar.
There was more to come though as French midfielder Paul Pogba won a penalty moments after the Wolves equalizer. He stepped up to take it and missed his 4th penalty from the last 11 he has taken.
Marcus Rashford has been on penalty duties for Man United and scored one spot-kick in their last win against Chelsea at Old Trafford on the opening weekend. Pogba’s miss prompted lots of reactions from the Manchester United fanbase.
