Mourinho: ‘Why Pogba let Alexis Sanchez take the penalty’

José Mourinho explained why Paul Pogba let his new team-mate Alexis Sanchez kick the penalty that allowed the Red Devils to take a 2-0 lead against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

“The decision was between him [Alexis] and Paul and Paul was a nice guy to him. He understood that it was important for him to score and let him take the penalty. I don’t think it’s a dream goal for Alexis because no player like to score a penalty after a save and a second ball but he had a good reaction so it’s fine to me”, Mourinho said.
