I’m Accountable For MUFC’s Disappointing End To The Season – Marc Skinner

Manchester United manager Marc Skinner accepts he is accountable for the club’s disappointing end to the season. Recall that it took an injury-time goal from Lea Schuller to prevent United from being beaten by Brighton at Leigh Sports Village.

Confessing that he heard the loud boos from fans at the end of both halves, Skinner admitted that he feels accountable for MUFC’s underwhelming campaign.

Marc, however, added that there is no one more disappointed than him for failing to build on last season’s success.

His words, “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. I will never deny that but there’s no-one more disappointed than me today for not taking three points.

We see the investment around us, we see the strategy around us.

No longer can we just look at them teams above us, we have to be able to be aware of those teams below.

I know everybody wants to jump on the negative but there’s also amazing growth from this team too.

We have to do some reflection, of course we do.

The reality is we have to assess over the summer where the resource goes and which direction we push that in, to make sure we stay in that chasing pack and obviously make sure the teams behind us can’t catch us.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
