- Manchester United Women manager has coached in NWSL
- ‘I thank the players for standing up,’ says Skinner
The Manchester United Women manager, Marc Skinner, has backed the National Women’s Soccer League players who this week halted play mid-game in the United States to protest over alleged abuse in their league. They were showing solidarity with the two women who have made allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against Paul Riley, the North Carolina Courage coach.
Sinead Farrelly and Mana Shim, who are both former NWSL footballers, made the claims in a report published in The Athletic last month. Riley, who was subsequently sacked by the Courage, denies any wrongdoing.
