Leah Galton<\/a> had be to slogged every game and Melvine Malard does a great job when she goes out there, but it\u2019s a slightly different variation for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cActually Frido\u2019s just here to come out on the left-hand side and use that attacking prowess. I think she has not only the quality with the ball, but off the ball as well to do exactly what we want of her. We see her as an attacking threat and someone we are looking forward to unleashing on the league.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI actually really love the two players that we\u2019ve brought in so far. Julia will add a different dimension in midfield for us. She has the ability, not only physically, but in her brain to play, to move her midfield. At times, we could have been a little bit static, so she\u2019ll be able to move our shape a lot more fluidly. Obviously Frido\u2019s a world-class player too.”<\/p>\n
Skinner is likely to be without four players for tomorrow\u2019s game. \u201cFrido is probably going to miss two or three weeks, yet. She had a little niggle going into the Euros. Obviously she forced that through to play, but we want to make sure she\u2019s right so that she hits the ground running for the whole of the season. So we\u2019re just putting her in a good space, we\u2019ve done that with many players that have come from overseas, to make sure that they\u2019re ready for the WSL.”<\/p>\n
\u201cRachel Williams is out, currently injured, and is probably about two or three weeks away. Leah (Galton) is currently a little niggle, so again, probably two or three weeks away. Grace (Clinton), we\u2019re going to monitor and see how she is, coming back off the Euros she has, again, just a little niggle that we\u2019re managing, but apart from that, everybody else is healthy, fit and ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Skinner also denied any knowledge of any interest in Clinton from cross-town rivals Manchester City. \u201cRight now, I\u2019ve not been told anything of the sort. I\u2019m sure there are people interested in Grace because she\u2019s a fantastic footballer. The club haven\u2019t told me anything about that so, as I am now, I am preparing for the Champions League tomorrow and Grace is progressing nicely to be part of our squad going forwards.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LEIGH, ENGLAND – AUGUST 20: Marc Skinner, Manager of Manchester United speaks to his side during a team…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97990,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,56972,56975,56976,2680,56971,7936,561,82,56973,56977,56974,7464],"class_list":["post-97989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-frindolina-rolfo","tag-jacqueline-ovalle","tag-julia-zigiotti-olmo","tag-manchester-united","tag-marc-skinner","tag-olivia-smith","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-uefa-womens-champions-league","tag-uwcl","tag-womens-super-league","tag-wsl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97989","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97989\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
