Manchester United, after a shaky start to the 2024/25 season, have climbed to second in the Women's Super League. With a recent 3-0 victory over Brighton, the team is now one point ahead of City and two points clear of Arsenal. Coach Marc Skinner emphasized the need for patience as new players adapted to the system. Despite early doubts about United's title hopes, their recent performances suggest they are legitimate contenders, although they remain seven points behind leaders Chelsea.
After a lacklustre start to the 2024/25 season that saw the side draw three games on the bounce, head coach Marc Skinner responded to the fan criticism that was calling for his job.
The reality is that when you put players into a new team, it takes a little bit of time for them to understand the key triggers of each other.
Now seven points adrift of Chelsea at the top of the league standings, it begs the question of whether or not United are the closest contenders in the WSL title race.
It seems that patience was all it would take to get the side back into the conversation.
