Skinner Demands Investment After Bayern Munich Ends Manchester United’s Women’s Champions League Journey
Manchester United Women’s coach Marc Skinner has called for greater investment in experienced players after Bayern Munich ended their Women’s Champions League run in the quarter-finals with a 5-3 aggregate victory. Despite a spirited second-leg performance and an early lead from Melvine Malard, United ultimately fell to two late Bayern goals, with Skinner highlighting squad depth and fatigue due to injuries as critical factors.
The manager emphasized the club’s need to learn and invest further to consistently compete at elite European levels, especially given recent revelations about their agent fees and wage bill compared to WSL rivals. United now face a tough challenge to secure a top-three finish in the Women’s Super League for next season’s Champions League qualification.
