Manchester United was trailing by one goal at the Etihad Stadium, and manager Marc Skinner became frustrated as he looked towards his substitutes. He questioned his coaching staff about why the team wasn’t maintaining possession of the ball, as the opposition persisted in pressing towards the United goal. Shortly after his agitation, it became apparent that it was warranted as his team quickly fell behind 2-0 in the match, putting them at risk of their fifth loss of the season in the Women’s Super League (WSL). Skinner promised to give their all in the remaining games in his press conference after the match. We will always stick to this principle, as it is the foundation of our team and the core of Manchester United. Additionally, an exclusive interview with Alexander Buttner is available to read. Additionally, I have experience working for Ratcliffe and Ineos, and I believe he should take note of past mistakes and learn from them. It was only fair to say that Skinner couldn’t really have been expected to say something different. The team’s loss on Saturday in east Manchester has put them 15 points behind the league leaders, which is even more difficult to accept considering their city rivals are currently in first place. They are also six points away from securing a spot in Europe, and that gap is expected to increase when Arsenal faces Aston Villa tomorrow. If Liverpool manages to not lose in the Merseyside derby on Sunday, United will finish the weekend in fifth place. This represents a significant decline for a team that narrowly missed out on the title last season and was only narrowly defeated by Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
