Marc Skinner: Man United Women boss singles out one player for praise Marc Skinner spoke to the club’s website after another disappointing result for his Manchester United Women’s team. Resilience The Red Devils drew 1-1 with Brighton & Hove Albion, all but ensuring they will not qualify for the Champions League next season. Commenting on the match, Skinner said, “look, I can’t stress enough, Brighton’s game plan was to sit back and counter us, press high and they’ve got the goal from the press.
We are disappointed with the goal, we should be able to play simply out of that situation. It is what it is. ” The manager also praised his side’s resilience in getting back into the game and scoring a 94th-minute equaliser.
Lea Schuller He also singled out January signing Lea Schuller for special praise after her goal. Skinner explained, “congratulations to Lea Schuller, if we serve her in the box, she will score goals. We need to be better, we need to do better at that.
” The manager was also asked about what Brighton did well to stop United creating many chances, but he instead decided to focus on what United struggled to do themselves. He elaborated, “honestly sometimes it is about the opponent, today I don’t think it was. I think it was about missing little bits of quality, little bits of incision, with the right weight at the right time.
