Manchester United Women have work to do if they are to shine in Champions League

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United are set to embark on what will be their busiest season to date in top-flight football. Their second-place finish in the Women’s Super League last season not only put a target on their back domestically but was the magic key to open the doors to European football.

There's no doubt this balancing act between the league, FA Cup and Champions League is going to put Marc Skinner under pressure.

Last year he defaulted to the same 10 starting players plus a different right-sided winger - Lucia Garcia or Nikita Parris - and was even mocked by opposing managers for such predictability.

Skinner insisted he didn't need squad rotation with only 22 league games, plus five in their successful FA Cup run. But things will have to change and he knows it.
