'I'm concerned some teams won't survive this' - Man Utd manager Stoney calls for unified approach to save women's game

Covid-19 has already brought serious financial implications for women's teams and the Red Devils boss is worried about the lasting impact

Casey Stoney has called for a unified approach to save the women’s game during the Covid-19 shutdown and praised Manchester United for how they have dealt with the crisis.

The financial implications of the current pandemic could be disastrous for women’s teams across the country with a number expected not to survive.

The Football Association (FA) is preparing for the fact top teams in the Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship, as well as teams further down the football pyramid, could fold and Stoney thinks there needs to be a collective effort to save as many teams as possible.
