Marc Skinner: Man United boss throws down European challenge to side Manchester United Women will take on Bayern Munich in Germany tonight in the second leg of their quarter-final. The Red Devils find themselves 2-3 down from the first leg, which was played at Old Trafford last week. Head coach Marc Skinner , whose job is reportedly under pressure , spoke to the press ahead of the huge match.
Commenting on the first leg, Skinner claimed, “we know we’ve played a fantastic team at Old Trafford. We conceded goals we normally wouldn’t, but we’re still in the tie. As long as we’re in it, we know it’s one big opportunity.
The players have worked incredibly hard, so coming here with a chance to reach the semi-finals is a huge motivation. ” No new injury boosts When asked about the potential return of the likes of Ella Toone and Anna Sandberg, Skinner replied, “no new players are back, so it’s the same squad. Leah (Galton) is unavailable for the Champions League, but everyone else is fit and ready.
” He also confirmed that United will be without top scorer Elisabeth Terland, as the match will come a bit too soon for her. Skinner also asserted that she will likely miss the international break with Norway, and it is too soon to put a timeline on her return. What was missing The head coach did admit that Terland’s goals will be missed, but that the team’s general composure in front of goal has been a problem area.
