Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal
Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Manchester United lost at home to Arsenal on Sunday night. The red devils created almost nothing in their own grass.
The evening ended in complete failure when Paul Pogba scored the decisive penalty in the 68th minute. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang certainly made it 1-0 for Arsenal, which was also the end result.
– Since Solskjær became United manager, Pogba has caused three penalty kicks. No one else has done more than one. This is headless, Brede Hangeland said in the TV 2 studio after the game.
Arsenal’s Héctor Bellerín was leaving the penalty area when Pogba kicked him in the heel. Totally unnecessary, Hangeland summed up.
– Pogba himself knows that this is a big, big mistake. Decisive match, he said.
– It’s just clumsy, added expert partner Solveig Gulbrandsen.

– You cannot give away such a punishment.
In an interview shown on TV 2, Pogba was left in bed by both himself and his teammates.
– We weren’t good enough today. I don’t know exactly what we’re doing wrong at home in the league, but we need to improve, he said.
The Frenchman did not hide that he gave a very unnecessary penalty.
– I have to do better. I cannot give such punishment. We must create more opportunities in order to win. We weren’t good enough in the last third to score. We have to work hard and find a way to improve, he summarized.
– Stand up. The player is leaving (the penalty area). I think it was a cheap penalty, said Solskjær.

– Very, very worried
Roy Keane, a former Manchester United midfield terrier, was very critical of Solskjær’s men after the match. He was particularly critical of Marcus Rashford. In the middle of the week, the forward scored a hat trick against RB Leipzig, but was almost invisible against Arsenal.
– I followed Rashford closely today. His body language was shocking. Do you shrug when things don’t go your way? You roll up your sleeves when you play for Manchester United, the Irishman thundered during the Sky Sports broadcast.
– I don’t see any leader out there. I am very, very worried about Manchester United right now. It lacks a lot of quality. It’s a long way back for this club, he added.
This means that Solskjær and United have not won at home at Old Trafford in the first four league games this season.
– It’s not good enough. We have to go back and train hard. “We cannot look for excuses,” Harry Maguire told the BBC.
