Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists that he will not get caught up over Manchester United's missed penalties.

For the second time in a week, United missed a crucial spot kick, this time with Marcus Rashford crashing his effort off the post.

Late drama at Old Trafford ensured United suffered a shock defeat to Crystal Palace .

Daniel James' goal in the 89th minute had looked to salvage a point, but a horror show from David De Gea gifted Palace three points, with Patrick van Aanholt's effort sneaking under him.

But once again a lot of the talking points are on United's penalty takers.

Paul Pogba missed from the spot at Wolves on Monday night and Rashford claimed penalty-taking duties back off him in the second half of the game against Palace.

“Two games, two missed penalties. It’s part and parcel of it,” manager Solskjaer said following the game.

“Sometimes it happens. I have missed a few myself. If we score them it’s a different story.

“If we keep putting ourselves in those positions we will get more penalties and we will score.

“It is just one of those things. We trust them to score again.”

He continued: “They scored two and we scored only one. We just were not clinical enough in front of goal and they scored two very easy goals.

“I thought we got our act together second half, we just couldn’t hit the target. We have dominated the game but we have not controlled it.

“We should have dealt with the last five minutes better. We defended poorly at times today and it cost us.

“Sometimes you do not find that end product and that happened today.

“We did not test their keeper enough. It cost us dearly today.”
