Me too. You have to be a rather special player who isn't gonna miss one. Funny thing is, we've got to a point that no matter who takes it I think they are gonna miss!

The league is gone so I think we should go for the most entertaining option which is Ederson.
A story to tell the kids how 11 outfield players were so shit at pens the keeper had to do it for them.

Goalkeepers have done so before. When the rags were relegated in 1973-74, Alex Stepney was their joint leading scorer at Xmas with two goals from penalties. Two goals at Xmas was enough to make him leading scorer! Two goals!!
Yes, United have always been renowned for buccaneering, free-scoring football.

I feel the same. Although correct me if i'm wrong, but did Yaya not have a 100% record? All I remember was him never missing. Miss that guy.

Interesting little side line, (and i assure you this is correct) You state Alex Stepney was their joint leading scorer at Xmas..... Do you know who was the leading scorer at Old Trafford at that point of the season ? Answer to follow if nobody gets it.
(og)?
nope
Oh how I miss the days of Yaya and Balotelli scoring every penalty. Every time we won a penalty you just knew it was goal.
Ever since Aguero missed two penalties in one game against Steaua Bucharest in 2016, then a few months later Aguero then De Bruyne both missed against Everton. I’ve been worried about them.
Now every time someone steps up you just see the confidence is missing and that’s it practically 50/50 if it goes in or not.
Just give the ball to Ederson already!! FFS

I would be pretty certain he never missed for us!
