I'm accountable for Man Utd results - Skinner

Manchester United boss Marc Skinner accepts he is accountable for the club's disappointing end to the season. It took an injury-time goal from Lea Schuller to prevent United being beaten by Brighton at Leigh Sports Village. Nevertheless, the 1-1 draw meant United have won just one game in nine, dating back to the Champions League play-off success against Atletico Madrid in February.

They have taken six points from their last five Women's Super League games and stand in fourth place, one point behind third-placed Arsenal. The Gunners now need just three points from their last four games to close the door on a return to Europe for United, who finish their league campaign at Chelsea on 16 May. United were also beaten by Chelsea in the League Cup final and the FA Cup and, after losing to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals, a season that promised so much is petering out.

Skinner said he heard the smattering of boos from fans at the end of both halves and added: "I hear it, I feel it. "I'm at the head of the football club. I'm accountable, right?

I'm there for people to give their opinion. "I work tirelessly hard to push this football club. Everyone's entitled to their opinion.
