Thank God for Pogba’s pen miss. What would we talk about otherwise?

I wonder if people had been more pissed off if he'd done the silly run-up and scored.

Whoever earns it takes it?! Not a hard concept is it ffs. The press piss me off.

So if Phil Jones earns a penalty you would be happy with him taking it? It's absurd a Premier League side uses playground/park kickabout rules.

Eric Cantona is the best penalty taker for us in the premier era, he took 16 spot-kicks in his five years at Old Trafford and only missed twice in the league, giving him a conversion rate of 87.5 per cent. He failed in attempts against Blackburn and former club Leeds but, on both occasions, went on to score later in the match.

Cantona was ridiculously cool on penalties. What was Denis Irwins conversion rate, up with the best I reckon?

Obviously not because the only 2 choices are Pogba / Rashford. It just so happens they both won the first 2 penalties.

Cannot understand why Dalot and Gomes left out of squad, and Mata and Young in it.
Rashford should have taken the penalty.

As an outsider looking in it was pretty clear Rashford wanted it, Pogba took it off him and missed as he has done with a lot of his pens lately. I thought the idea was to give Rashford confidence and goals from penalties? Very much 2 points dropped as you were the better team, I don't get the grace some United fans give Pogba.

He's clearly our best player which is why people defend him. It's a bit like when Kane swore on his daughter's life that his hair grazed the ball for that goal and everyone was like "alright, whatever, just so you're happy"

Ah, so it only applies to those two. Still a terrible idea, Pogba's record is abysmal.

Not sure there is anything definitive as there isn't a page on United's site saying when it expires but his page on transfermarkt says December. I think places are saying it expires in June just because it is unusual for a contract to expire in December.

transfermarkt was one of the places I'd seen June 2020 as his expiry

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angel-gomes/profil/spieler/392770

I only thought December was a possibility due to the timing of his signing the contract and people suggesting it actually was.

Interesting. It definitely said December when I last looked at it a few months back.

He signed it on Wednesday 17th December, so I guess they just added on 3 years.

Realistically though they probably date it until the end of the season, as it just makes more sense.
