"Everything is fine. The players are ready. They all had the boots they needed for the [first leg] so there were no excuses and they took it really well. It was one of those things you don't want to happen, but it does happen. I don't know where the [lost] boots are but we're living in a modern world where boots can get sent very quickly so all the players have them now."
"It's a knee injury. We're still assessing but it's not an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or medial collateral ligament (MCL) - it's not the structure of the knee. We are just looking at the knee cap. She has another meeting at the end of this week and when it settles down, we'll know more. I can update you"
Manchester United’s players had replacement boots available for the return leg after a set of boots went missing before the first-leg defeat in Bergen. Club officials bought 15 pairs of boots and 20 sets of shin guards from Torshov Sport less than three hours before kick-off after training at Carrington. The team trained in the replacement boots ahead of the home tie at Leigh Sports Village on Thursday (19:00 BST) as they aim to reach the main Women’s Champions League draw. Defender Millie Turner suffered a knee injury, not believed to be ACL or MCL, and is under further assessment.
