Manchester United boss Marc Skinner has emphasized that his team needs reinforcements during the winter transfer window to compensate for the demanding schedule of competing in both the Women's Super League and the Champions League. The statement comes after their 3-0 loss to Manchester City, with United struggling to find any shots on target throughout the game.
The team had just beaten PSG 2-1 three days prior, but Skinner highlighted that the schedule is taking a toll on his players. He admitted that it's not an excuse for the defeat and instead emphasized the need for support in the transfer window.
Skinner praised the commitment of his players, saying they gave everything but failed to fix certain issues. The manager stated that the team can't accept this level of performance, especially when facing a rival like City.
In addition to finding new talent, Skinner is also seeking to strengthen his forward line, which was struggling against City's defense. The coach acknowledged that the club cares about the women's team and is working hard behind the scenes to bring in the right players.
Despite this, managing elite-level competition domestically and in Europe appears to be becoming increasingly challenging for Manchester United. Skinner has a tough task ahead of him as he seeks to revive his side's fortunes.
