It’s that simple. Everybody can miss a penalty," Rashford told Sky Sports.  "He’s scored countless penalties for us and throughout his career. It’s normal to miss one. We forget about that now."We go again in the next game and if we play how we played today, with a bit more urgency, we’ll be fine." He added: "It’s simple. If you want to take it, you take it. I took one last week so for me it’s no problem for him to take one this week. It’s unfortunate that he didn’t score but it’s football." Pogba's decision to take the penalty was criticised by former Manchester United star Gary Neville, who said that he was "fuming" when he saw the midfielder step up to the spot .But Rashford backed his team-mate and said that both he and Pogba are confident from the spot, and that whoever takes the next one will have plenty of belief when the situation arises once again. "The confidence that you’re going to score the goal is always the same. And so it should be," he said."We practice pretty much all week and we score the majority of the time so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have the confidence to take the penalty. "Like I say, it’s unfortunate we didn’t score it but it’s not on him it’s as a team. We take that forward into the next game."Next up for Manchester United is a clash with Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday.</blockquote>
