Jayde Riviere details what’s next for Man United after flat draw vs. Tottenham Manchester United right-back Jayde Riviere has encouraged her teammates to “take risks” moving forward, after they played out a frustrating draw against Tottenham Hotspur. United held United were largely second best against Tottenham, who held them to a goalless stalemate on Sunday afternoon.

Not even the return of Ella Toone could inspire a lacklustre United side that only managed 10 shots at goal to Tottenham’s 22. The Reds needed goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce to bail them out time and again. Fortunately for the visitors, she had a response for almost everything the opposition threw at her.

The result has seen United jump to third place in the WSL table, just one point above Arsenal who have three games in hand. Speaking to reporters after the final whistle, a disappointed Marc Skinner took aim at his players’ passive pressing. He also criticised the lack of energy on the pitch, which has left United’s Champions League qualification hopes in a precarious position.

In an interview with MUTV , Riviere also said that it comes down to attitude, as she called on everyone at the club to take more risks as the campaign nears its end. Riviere’s remarks Riviere said, “Yeah, I would say 0-0 is a fair result. It’s not the result we wanted, obviously.

We knew that these next three matches were going to be crucial for us. But I think today, sometimes it just comes down to attitude and I think we have everything to play for. ” “We’re a team that always wants to win, so we’re going to finish the season hard and hope for the best.
