MUFC Owners Do Not Care About Their Women’s Team – Ian Wright

Manchester United do not care enough about their women’s team, Ian Wright has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, the way Marc Skinner has carried himself ever since Sir Jim came out to say focus will turn to the women’s team after he sorts out the issues with the men’s setup was poor, and his recent interviews have not stood him in good stead.

Wright added that INEOS genuinely do not care enough about the female footballers, and it is sad to see.

His words, “When you hear murmurings of Man United saying ‘once we sort out the men’s, we’re gonna focus on the women’s’ – when is that going to be? You look at the men’s and how far they are off it at the minute. When are they actually going to take notice of the women’s? I genuinely believe, especially with how Man United Women are playing, they do not care. They genuinely do not care enough.”

On Skinner, “Unfortunately for him, the interview he did the other day didn’t stand him in good stead. What he’s saying, in respect of new players, the team gelling – he’s had this team for long enough now where they should be doing a lot better. You talk about the four new players, [Celin] Bizet – she’s played in the WSL before, [Dominque] Janssen has been there before, [Elisabeth] Terland and then Grace Clinton who had to go to Tottenham to get herself better and in the England squad. You listen to that interview, no plan B, no real structure of what they’re doing. They were playing against a Villa side that were bottom of the league and he’s talking about they got a good result – at home. This is why I was quite pleased to see Man United fans pull him up about that interview and how David Brent-ish it was for me.”

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, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
