Manchester United Women boss Marc Skinner urges club to keep investing to bridge gap with Arsenal and Chelsea... but insists he's not concerned after 2-0 loss to WSL leaders

It has not been a good weekend for Manchester United managers. While there is no threat of Marc Skinner losing his job like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, yesterday’s 2-0 defeat against Arsenal showed there is still a significant gap between them and the top.

There was a strange atmosphere at Leigh Sports Village ahead of this game. United’s fans were unhappy the club had announced Solskjaer’s departure right before the women’s huge game against the league leaders and they opted to sing the Norwegian’s name in the 20th minute (Solskjaer wore the number 20 during his playing days).
