Solskjaer slammed for 'schoolboy' Manchester United error

The Red Devils boss continues to draw fire for his failure to pick a designated penalty taker, this time by a former penalty specialist

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's decision to share penalty duties this season has been labelled as 'schoolboy stuff' by former England international Matt Le Tissier.

The Red Devils missed spot-kicks in consecutive games against Wolves and Crystal Palace early on in the Premier League season with both Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford unable to convert penalties.

Following those misses, Solskjaer was forced to clarify that the duo are deciding between themselves who will take penalties this season - a situation Le Tissier believes is far from ideal.
