"We are a big store but they were very lucky we had enough boots in stock that were the right size," Gullord said."
"They paid between £200 and £230 for each pair and £30 for the shin guards."
"We have had the odd player come in because they have left their boots behind but never the entire team."
"A bag containing some of our players' boots went missing during the journey to Bergen. We are investigating how this happened. In the meantime, we have secured new boots for all the affected players."
A bag containing several Manchester United women's players' boots went missing during the team's journey to Bergen ahead of the UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying tie against SK Brann. The club purchased replacement boots and shin guards locally, spending several thousand pounds on pairs priced between £200 and £230 and shin guards at £30. Local shop owner Andre Gullord confirmed the store had enough stock in the correct sizes and said entire-team forgettings were unprecedented. Midfielder Lisa Naalsund asked her mother to bring boots to the stadium. Manchester United are investigating while ensuring all affected players received replacements.
