Manchester United women's manager appears to aim BRUTAL swipe at Ruben Amorim - as he reveals where his 'confidence' differs to under pressure men's boss

Manchester United women's manager Marc Skinner has appeared to aim a brutal dig at Ruben Amorim, insisting he is 'not one of these managers' who looks away at penalties.

Skinner, 42, watched his side beat Norwegian outfit Valerenga 1-0 in the Women's Champions League on Wednesday, with Maya Le Tissier netting the winning penalty midway through the first half.

Le Tissier kept her composure with a cool finish from the penalty spot, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way before wheeling away in celebration with her team-mates.

The Red Devils' men's team, who have endured another disappointing start to the season under Ruben Amorim, have not had much success with penalties so far this campaign, with captain Bruno Fernandes missing twice from the spot in the Premier League during their 1-1 draw with Fulham and 3-1 defeat by Brentford.
