Marc Skinner: United boss pinpoints key difference between City and his side Manchester United Women fell to a disappointing defeat against Manchester City at Old Trafford. The Red Devils were never really in the game as they were blown away 0-3 by their city rivals. United found themselves 2-0 down inside the first 20 minutes and, in reality, could not lay a glove on the league leaders.
Marc Skinner’s side now find themselves 11 points behind their rivals in first place and have dropped down to third in the league. The manager spoke to the club’s media after the match. Offering an explanation for the result, he explained, “yeah, obviously we started slow, which wasn’t ideal.
The players are trying their hardest—I promise you that. They made a few mistakes and it can look like Manchester City blew us away in the first half, but the reality is they just had more energy. ” Injuries Skinner went on to assert, “but if we’re being honest, look at what Manchester City can bring—that’s the difference.
My injury list is growing, not from training but from games—overuse injuries. I can’t really legislate for that. The girls are trying really hard, we’re trying really hard, but when your squad gets smaller, you’ve got fewer options to change the game the way you want.
