Man Utd news: Ashley Young aims cheeky dig at Paul Pogba for doing THIS
ASHLEY YOUNG has aimed a cheeky dig at Paul Pogba for his controversial penalty technique.
Man United: Solskjaer praises Pogba after defeating Brighton
Pogba scored the opening goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brighton on Saturday from the penalty spot.
His stuttered run-up has drawn criticism from various quarters and he even missed a penalty against Everton earlier in the season, although he scored from the rebound.
And Young took to Twitter to have his say on the matter.
“Yep. He’s doing that run up again,” the United full-back joked.
Pogba’s penalty came just before the half-hour mark and he now has eight Premier League goals this term.
That equals his best-ever return in English football, while Marcus Rashford continued his own scoring streak by doubling United’s lead in the 42nd minute.
Pascal Gross pulled one back for the visitors with 20 minutes left on the cliic but United held on to make it seven wins from seven games under interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjsaer.
Splksjaer admitted it was one of his toughest matches since taking charge but the victory means they kept the pressure on the teams above them.
Sixth-placed United they are level on points with Arsenal in fifth and now only three behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
"Today we were tested," said Solskjaer. "I didn't think we played the game out as we should have. That's perhaps the next challenge for the boys.
"Sometimes you make it hard work. I thought we played some greats stuff at times.
“At the start of the second half we could have finished the game with great chances.
"The last 20 minutes we were in trouble. You can't always play fantasy football.
“At times we did and it's a great three points."
On Rashford - who has scored in all of his last four Premier League games - Solskjaer added: "What a finish.
“That was the first thing I said to him when I met him. He had missed some chances and I said 'no problem, you'll be all right, just settle down a little bit'."
