Pogba to resume penalty duties despite Rashford's heroics

  /  autty

Manchester United's players arrived at training on Saturday morning for their final session before heading to London for this weekend's clash with Arsenal.

Marcus Rashford, fresh from converting a stoppage-time penalty in Paris on Wednesday night to send United into the Champions League quarter-finals at the expense of PSG, drove into training while wearing a club hat and tracksuit.

Rashford displayed nerves of steel to send his late spot-kick into the top corner of Gianluigi Buffon's goal in midweek, but he is not expected to be on penalty duties on Sunday when United visit the Emirates Stadium.

Paul Pogba was suspended in Paris and, although he failed to score from the spot in last Saturday's 3-2 win over Southampton, The Sun report that the Frenchmen will keep his status as United's chief penalty taker.

Pogba was sent off at Arsenal last season but will be given the chance to make amends as United seek a 10th consecutive away win under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Fellow midfielder Nemanja Matic also missed Wednesday's game in PSG, but the Serbian could return to the team after he was pictured arriving at training on the eve of the Arsenal match.

United produced a fine defensive display at the Parc des Princes, with Luke Shaw and Victor Lindelof in fine form.

Shaw and Lindelof looked in determined mood as they rolled into Carrington on Saturday morning.

Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata were also seen arriving for training on Saturday, but both remain doubts for the Arsenal game after recent hamstring issues.
