Marc Skinner insists Manchester United have the "boots they need" for their Champions League qualifying second leg clash with Brann. The Red Devils lost 1-0 in Norway, having mislaid the players' footwear. Staff were dispatched to a local sports shop to buy boots and shinpads ahead of the fixture but Skinner insists that his side are "ready" for the return leg.
Manchester United's hopes of reaching the Women's Champions League league phase suffered a blow after a narrow defeat in Norway, but manager Marc Skinner has fired back at Brann's celebrations. The Red Devils dominated large spells of the game but were undone late on, leaving them with everything to do in next week's decisive second leg at Leigh Sports Village.
After advancing from the second qualifying round, Manchester United will play home and away against Norway's SK Brann for a place in the competition proper.
