He would have looked very silly had he missed...
Manchester United's season got off to a flying start this evening, as they took the lead within two minutes against Leicester City at Old Trafford.
A reckless handball from Daniel Amartey gave United a penalty and Paul Pogba, wearing the captain's armband in the absence of Antonio Valencia, stepped up to take it. He scored the penalty, slotting it calmly into the top right corner, but his run up was one of such nonchalance that he risked making a fool of himself if he had missed the penalty.
It was reminisicent of Simone Zaza's penalty against Germany in Euro 2016, as he took an age to reach the ball, taking a lot of small, tip-toed steps towards the ball.
As most things involving Paul Pogba do, it got a mixed response.
