Marc Skinner: Man United Women boss bites back at criticism
Marc Skinner: Man United Women boss bites back at criticism Manchester United Women welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Progress with Unity Stadium as their Champions League hopes for next season continue to fade. Marc Skinner’s side are currently four points behind Chelsea in second place and would need the Blues to drop points against Leicester City this weekend, before beating their great rivals in the final match of the season. Ahead of United’s Saturday match against Brighton, head coach Marc Skinner spoke to the press .
Leah Galton departure Skinner first addressed Leah Galton’s departure from the club this summer, which was announced earlier this week. He claimed, “first and foremost, she deserves to be honoured. I’ve worked with a lot of high-level wingers, but I’ve never met a player quite like Leah.
Her ability to beat players and her pace — it’s incredible. She’s made a massive impact on this club and leaves a real legacy. She’ll always be welcome back here with her family.
” Brighton Skinner took the time to praise Saturday’s opponents, Brighton, and in particular their recent form against top teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal. He stated, “when we go into this game against Brighton, we have to be at that level where we’re attacking and putting Brighton on the back foot. If we do that, then we can win the game.
But there’s definitely growth from them, and I’m sure they’ll be happy with where they’re at. ” Injury updates After the return of Ella Toone in the last match, Skinner confirmed that “everyone else is back, barring Terry ( Elisabeth Terland ) and Dom (Dominique Janssen), who are back training on the field. It’s probably come a little bit too early for them, so maybe the Chelsea game they could be involved.
