Manchester United Women no longer control their own progress toward Women's Champions League qualification. The team sits outside the top three positions in the Women's Super League table. Manager Marc Skinner signed a contract extension last year, yet his future remains a topic of discussion among supporters, per The Guardian.
United finished as runners-up in both the league and FA Cup in the 2022-23 season. However, the current campaign has seen the club struggle to maintain pace with Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal. Defensive errors and a lack of clinical finishing contributed to several points dropped against lower-ranked opposition.
According to Sky Sports, the club hierarchy continues to evaluate the performance of the first team as the season nears its conclusion. United must win their remaining fixtures and hope for rivals to lose matches to secure a European place. Skinner stated that the squad remains focused on professional standards despite the pressure regarding his position, as reported by The Athletic.
