VIDEO: Paul Pogba's Terrible PK for Manchester United Keeps Game Even Against Wolves
By Michael Luciano
Paul Pogba and Manchester United are quickly seeing their night at Molineux against Wolverhampton descend into abject disaster. Following Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves' sublime curler that beat David de Gea to the top corner and leveled the score at 1-1, Pogba has a chance to put Nuno and Wolves down at home with a penalty, but veteran Portuguese international keeper Rui Patricio read it perfectly and fisted it away.

The razor thin line between three points and one point in the Premier League has never been better exemplified.
Pogba may be a tremendously creative offensive midfielder with the defensive skill to operate in a deep-lying role, but he just hasn't been able to get the hang of penalty kicks.
The French international has missed four penalties since the start of last season, more than any other player in English soccer. He's converted just seven of his 11 attempts.

Pogba has been angling for a move to Spain for some time now, but something tells me that wasn't what Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid are looking for.
