		</div><p>Marcus Rashford has played down Manchester United’s penalty controversy after Paul Pogba’s latest miss.</p>
<p>Rui Patricio saved Pogba’s second-half spot-kick in Monday’s 1-1 draw at Wolves.</p>
<p>The midfielder has now missed four penalties since the start of last season after failing to convert against Burnley, Everton and Southampton.</p>

<p>After the miss Pogba was the subject of racial abuse on Twitter, with United issuing a statement saying they were disgusted and working to identify those responsible.</p>
<p>Rashford has a perfect record from 12 yards having netted in the 4-0 win over Chelsea last week, but he does not blame Pogba for wanting to take the penalty at Molineux.</p>
<p><em>“I think if you ask anyone in the team, they’ll feel confident to take the penalty. Paul wanted to take it, I took the one last week and it was no problem,” said the 21-year-old.</em></p>
<p><em>“But he’s scored countless penalties for us, countless penalties in his career and it’s normal for somebody to miss a penalty.</em></p>
<div class="ad-container">

<p><em>“We don’t need to make a deal of it; if we had another penalty, I’m sure he’d score.”</em></p>
<p>Anthony Martial’s 50th United goal opened the scoring only for Ruben Neves to curl in off the bar from outside the box to earn Wolves a draw before Pogba’s penalty miss.</p>
<p>United lost twice to Wolves at Molineux last season – going down 2-1 in the FA Cup and Premier League in a matter of weeks.</p>
<p>Solskjaer’s side were vastly improved from those defeats and after four points from their opening two games, Rashford is satisfied with their development.</p>
<p><em>“We still have things to work on but it was a decent performance,”</em> Rashford told MUTV. <em>“We were unlucky to come away with a point. It feels like we’ve lost the game.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve compared it to last time we were here and it’s a million miles off that performance.</em></p>
<p><em>“We know that we’ve improved individually and as a team. The result is disheartening but we brush ourselves down and go again.</em></p>
<p><em>“We see the improvement, we feel it – but 100 per cent we need to show it. That’s the most important part of it.”</em></p>
<p>Wolves have drawn their two opening Premier League games of the season and head to Turin to face Torino on Thursday in the first leg of their Europa League play-off.</p>
<p>Victory in the tie would take them into the group stage and captain Conor Coady is relishing the task.</p>
<p><em>“It is amazing. We wanted to finish seventh to have these nights,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“We have these games coming up. We are going to Torino and is something we are looking forward to.</em></p>
<p><em>“We want to play as many games as possible.”</em></p>
