Skinner: Take the hit and refocus

Manchester United Women boss Marc Skinner hopes his side can channel the disappointment of losing to Liverpool in our huge end-of-season double-header against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.

The Reds headed to Prenton Park on Sunday afternoon for a clash of fourth versus fifth in the WSL, with our Merseyside counterparts ultimately leapfrogging us in the league standings, thanks to Jenna Clark’s header in a 1-0 defeat.

With a Women's FA Cup final now on the horizon and an Old Trafford showdown against Chelsea to follow thereafter, Skinner believes the setback could prove useful for his players to re-energise and refocus for our crucial games ahead.
