Pogba still happy in spotlight

-

PAUL POGBA has thanked Jose Mourinho and his Manchester United team-mates for letting him keep penalty-taking duties. Pogba scored from the spot in Wednesday’s 3-0 Champions League win over Young Boys in Bern. It was the third penalty Pogba has scored this season, but he had missed his previous attempt at Burnley. ‘I didn’t have any doubts about taking it,’ said Pogba. ‘I missed against Burnley, but I won’t do the same mistake. I had the confidence of the players. They let me take it and I should thank them for this, as well as the manager.’ Mourinho said: ‘I like the player to have the courage to take a penalty after one he missed. The next penalty, he is there to take it and kill the game for us.’
