Skinner expressed frustration after Man Utd’s defeat to Man City-Football news:
Manchester United manager Mark Skinner has expressed his disappointment after their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester City as he expressed disappointment that Jess Park’s opening goal was not disallowed for offside.
A brace from Park and a goal from Khadijah Shaw earned City all three points at the Etihad Stadium.
Park’s opening goal should have been disallowed for offside due to Shaw’s involvement in the build-up on Premier League. However, in the absence of a video assistant referee, the goal is allowed to stand.
Suddenly they got a corner and they powered home. It wasn’t a goal and it shouldn’t have stood.
We’ve had opportunities before that we would have taken on another day, we were making Kiara Keating work more than Mary Earps had to do.
When I look back on it, it’s disappointing to lose a big game like that.
City are next in action against Liverpool on march 30 and United against everton on 31 march 2024.
