In the aftermath of Pogba's penalty miss against Wolves last week, social media was sent into meltdown over the Frenchman's poor record from the spot, with many suggesting that Rashford is a more ideal penalty taker for Manchester United.

The 22-year-old had shown ice nerves to bury a last-minute penalty to send United through at the expense of PSG in the Champions League, while he also scored from the spot on the opening day of the season against Chelsea.

In light of the furor raised, head coach Solskjaer came out to state that henceforth, Rashford would be Manchester United's designated penalty taker.

Against Palace, Marcus Rashford did not do too much, as Martin Kelly stuck to him closely to ensure he had no space to influence proceedings, but the England international had his chance when the referee pointed to the spot in the 70th minute for a foul on McTominnay.

Given the huge trust reposed in him, it was expected that Rashford would bury the ball in the back of the net to draw United level, but rather shockingly, he saw his spot-kick rattle out off the post to leave the question of who United's best penalty taker open for debate.
