Fresh from opening their Premier League campaign with an impressive triumph against Chelsea, United hit the road looking to avoid a third Molineux loss in five months.
Solskjaer's side were vastly improved from those 2-1 losses in the FA Cup and Premier League earlier in the year, but it could have been even better than Monday's hard-fought 1-1 draw.
Ruben Neves' stunner cancelled out a fine Anthony Martial opener and eyebrows were raised when Pogba stepped up to take the spot-kick he won, rather than last week's penalty scorer Marcus Rashford.
Rui Patricio saved the France midfielder's thumping effort - his fourth failed penalty since the start of last season – which means Pogba has one of the worst penalty taking records in the history of the Premier League. But which players have an even poorer record?
