Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made a significant decision regarding the team's penalty taker, naming Marcus Rashford as the permanent choice.

The decision comes after Paul Pogba missed a crucial penalty kick in the team's 1-1 draw against Wolves at Molineux on August 19, 2019.

According to reports, Solskjaer tore into both Rashford and Pogba over the penalty incident in the dressing room at full time, informing his players that Rashford would be taking penalties from now on.

However, when speaking to the press, Solskjaer insisted that both players are designated takers.

Manchester United's second game of the new season ended in a stalemate, with Ruben Neves' wonder strike cancelling out Anthony Martial's first-half opener.
