"Skinner confirmed that new signing, former Barcelona wide player Fridolina Rolfö, Leah Galton and Rachel Williams will miss the first leg of the qualifiers, with Grace Clinton -- who has been linked with a possible move to Manchester City -- though a source told ESPN that it has not progressed beyond interest - also sidelined after picking up a "little niggle.""
"Grace, we're going to monitor and see how she is. Coming out of the back of the Euros, she has, again, just a little niggle that we're managing. But apart from that, everybody else is healthy, fit and ready to go. [It's] pretty good considering we're probably only three or four weeks into preseason," he said."
"United have had a quieter transfer window than expected, only bringing in two players, Rolfö and Julia Zigiotti Olme from Bayern Munich. Skinner stressed that the team are still active in the market -- a move for Germany's Giovanna Hoffmann fell through last week -- and are eager to bring in two forwards before the window closes on Sept. 4."
Manchester United enter the Champions League qualifier against PSV Eindhoven with several short-term injuries to key attackers. Fridolina Rolfö, Leah Galton and Rachel Williams are expected to miss the first leg and be sidelined for two to three weeks. Grace Clinton is being monitored for a minor niggle amid reported interest from Manchester City that has not progressed beyond initial interest. United have signed Rolfö and Julia Zigiotti Olme but have otherwise had a quiet window, with a potential move for Giovanna Hoffmann collapsing last week. The squad remains largely fit otherwise and the club seeks one or two forwards before Sept. 4.
