Manager Marc Skinner signed with the club in 2021 after being in charge of clubs such as Birmingham city and Orlando Pride. He previously was heavily involved in United's youth programs, so when he was offered the job he couldn't resist. But his lack of experience in the WSL could be the reason why United seem to struggle against top sides in the league.


The performance shown against Chelsea at the weekend was one of the weakest this season, it didn't help that Lauren James was heavily involved with getting three goals and dominating the defence. The scoreline doesn't reflect the chances that United had, with nine shots and four on target, and a pretty even possession stat sitting at 43% for the reds. Perhaps it'll take the team time to adjust since losing star player Alessia Russo in the summer to keep up the goal scoring streak they strive for.

Since this result it has sparked questions regarding if skinner is the right person to reach the levels United are hoping for this season, with currently sitting at fourth and six points behind Arsenal. This makes the next few games against Aston Villa and Brighton crucial if they want to be included in the top three. The club would obviously hope to have another attempt in Champions League football, as they lost out against PSG this season. Although there is still a while left in the season, we all know how important every game is for the next part of the year. You never know the important top three may come down to just three points. Is Marc the right person to reach the heights united are striving for?
