Manchester United were defeated by Arsenal by a penalty given to them. The match ended with 1 – 0, Arsenal 1 Manchester United 0.
United pushed hard towards the end but were unable to break down a stubborn Arsenal defence. And after the game, Solskjaer said there was no need for Pogba to make the challenge he did.
Solskjaer told Sky Sports:
“He needs to stay on his feet. Paul knows it’s a soft penalty to give away similar to Nemanja [Matic] who almost got a penalty.”
Pogba’s words:
“Myself, I cannot give a foul away like this,”
“I thought I would touch the ball but I didn’t. I cost us the goal today with the penalty.
“Like I say, details. We have to do better, the team, myself, it starts with me.
“I felt like I touched him a bit, I knew I was in the box, I shouldn’t have given a penalty away like that.
“Maybe I was a bit out of breath, it made me do this stupid mistake. I will learn from that, I’m not the best defensively in the box, I can work on that.”
United were unbeaten in four games in all competitions ahead of the defeat.
