Manchester United boss Marc Skinner blasted UEFA’s qualifying system and officiating standards after his team were eliminated from the Champions League last night.
United missed out on a place in the 16-team group stage after a 3-1 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain saw the French side progress with a 4-2 aggregate victory.
Skinner’s side, who finished second in the Women’s Super League last season, were guaranteed a difficult tie because of UEFA’s qualifying format and the fact they were unseeded in their pathway.
Only the champions of Spain, Germany and France, the highest ranked nations in UEFA’s coefficient, qualified automatically.
