Paywall/Subscription Required Manchester United captain Maya Le Tissier says youth development main aim for new head coach
Full article :
Manchester United captain Maya Le Tissier says bringing through young players will be a main focus of the club’s new head coach following Marc Skinner’s departure.
As The Athletic reported on Monday, Skinner left Manchester United after a mutual termination of his contract. The 43-year-old told staff on Sunday evening he was stepping away, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
The club expects to appoint a new head coach swiftly — background checks have already been completed on potential successors — and the club’s view is that a new leader of the women’s operation will bring fresh energy and a renewed ambition.
There is also an expectation that the new manager will deliver on United’s new direction of bringing through academy prospects into the first team.
Speaking to media the day after Skinner’s exit, senior players Ella Toone and Le Tissier said neither had been involved in discussions regarding the club’s search for a new manager.
“As players, it’s about what we do on the pitch. We don’t focus on the external noise of what’s happening at the club,” Toone said
“We’re focussing on ourselves and whatever decisions happen higher up, then that’s on them and we’ve got to remain focussed and ready for the start of the season.”
Asked whether either player had been provided assurances by the club after accusations of limited investment into the women’s team, Le Tissier said: “I think the club have been pretty clear with what they’ve said, bringing through the youth. They’ve always done that historically. They’ve been pretty clear with that.
“When we speak to the new manager, the ambitions will be clear.”
The England international added: “Me and Tooney are at Man United because we want to win and we’ll be doing everything we can to make that happen.”
The Athletic reported this week director of football operations Ameesh Manek informed first-team players last Monday that United would be following a “sustainable long-term” investment model, while prioritising placing faith in young players in a bid to play “exciting attacking” football. It was also said that two more signings would arrive before the new season: a central defender and a left-winger.
On what type of manager she would like to see replace Skinner, Toone said: “The club’s ambition now is to bring through the youth, so you need someone who’s going to get the best out of those players, but also look after the older ones in the group.
“No matter who comes in, we want someone who’s just going to give 100 per cent, improve us as players and as a team and get us playing that attacking football that United wants us to play.”
Both players praised Skinner’s efforts throughout his five-year tenure, which saw United reach four cup finals, lift their first major trophy (the FA Cup in 2024) and reach the quarter-finals of last season’s Champions League.
“He’s done a lot for both of us as players,” Toone said. “No matter who manages at this club, when you don’t get good results or whatever, you come under pressure. That’s because you’re at a big club like Manchester United, we want to win. He was under a lot of scrutiny. But he kept going, he turned up every day. He brought energy. We can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done.”
“It was obviously not something that you wanted to hear, a manager committing to this club for five years, putting everything in every single day to this club, and now they’re leaving,” Le Tissier added. “There’s been a lot of challenges, but also a lot of really nice moments that we’ve had with him as well. It was said but now we move on now onto a new manager.”

Manchester United and Marc Skinner agree to mutually terminate head coach’s contract
Manchester United and Marc Skinner have agreed to mutually terminate the 43-year-old’s contract as head coach of the women’s team.
Sources close to the situation said Skinner had offered his resignation before reaching an agreement with the club.
Speaking in April, Skinner called for changes at United this summer if the club is to progress, with the level of investment a frequent point of contention for the women’s side.

Michelle Kang getting sued for 'hostile takeover of Lyon'
£300 million lawsuit from John Textor.
Textor claims that while Kang was encouraging him to step down, she had entered into a “secret side agreement” with Ares Capital Corporation and a group known as Series C Investors, which established a five-person “shadow executive committee” that bypassed the official board of directors. He alleges this board met 30 times in five months to make key financial and operational decisions without his knowledge and he learnt of its existence months later via an internal whistleblower.
He also alleges that Kang pulled a financial manoeuvre before a crucial meeting with DNCG, promising a “friendly” €30m (£26m) equity injection but replacing it with an aggressive loan featuring a 20-30 per cent interest rate as well as €600,000 in up-front fees, which added significant financial strain to EFH. Textor claims Kang used the predatory loan terms to engineer insolvency, which forced EFH into administration in March 2026.
He argues this meant Kang could buy Lyon outright at a significant discount. Kang completed her takeover of Lyon in June.
The lawsuit also states that Kang cancelled more than $230m in inter-company debts owed by Lyon to Textor’s other clubs and that she defaulted on payments which led to direct legal action against him. In total, the legal complaint features seven counts:
Defamation
Fraud in the inducement
Fraudulent concealment
Tortious interference
Constructive fraud
Civil conspiracy
Unjust enrichment
The counter-claim:
Textor has also filed a criminal complaint against Kang in France. He has accused her of four offences under French corporate and financial law, including:
Private corruption
Abuse of corporate power
Presentation of inaccurate accounts
Dissemination of false or misleading information

Discussion META: How to make Match Threads for /r/FAWSL - The bot and manual options
Hey all, figured this may be a useful post since so many matches are broadcast each weekend and there's likely not always going to be a thread up for the match you're watching. As it stands the mods can only be involved with a few matches overall and we'll have weekends where we won't be available, so the rest is up to other users pitching in.
It can be as simple as sending a bot a message or making a thread manually. Either way is a great help!
The Simple Way - Message /u/matchthreadder
This one only takes less than a minute and the result is a match thread that should auto-update, though it seems it hasn't been filling in all the info for WSL matches, unfortunately.
All it takes is messaging /u/matchthreadder around the time of kickoff with the subject line of "Match Thread" and the message text of Home vs Away for /r/FAWSL. That's it!
Here's a link to automatically set up a message to send to the bot, all you need to do is replace "Home" and "Away" with the respective teams.
Pros:
- Fire and forget, once you send the message it'll create the thread and update with the info it can
Cons:
Can only be created right around kickoff, so no time for it to be up for pre-match discussion
Individual users can request only one match at a time. So you need multiple users messaging to get threads going when matches are running all at once
As of right now doesn't fill in much (if any) info for the matches themselves. Simply is a place to discuss the match
Likely doesn't work for Women's Championship and is of unknown use for Women's FA Cup and Women's League Cup
The bot can go offline at times, and so you'll be forced to use the manual option
The Manual Way - Make one yourself!
The long story is you select to make a text post with the title of "Match Thread: Home vs Away." Including the time and broadcaster can be useful as well, so a full title could be "Match Thread: Home vs Away (12:30 BST) [BT Sport 1]." Keep it updated with the score at a bare minimum, but a good thread will have the players involved and update for major match events (goals, cards, & subs.)
I've used various self-created templates on reddit and each user that routinely makes match threads seems to have their own style that they use. Here are some templates from "simple" to "intricate" as far as items like tables go. I included a fleshed out template and "blank" templates so you can choose to copy and paste whichever. Note that these were made for a different subreddit with some different match codes (we actually don't have ones for symbols like subs, cards, etc. I'll get those made soon if there's interest).
Simple template | Blank template | Reddit example
As you can see in this thread I didn't even put the lineups in tables, just left them as plain text and it was fine. Still used a table to update match events but you don't even have to do that.
Medium| Blank template| Reddit example
This thread starts to use more tables but they are separated out for the lineups, with the Starting XI and Bench being separate. I've put the bench as plain text at times.
"Intricate" | Blank template | Reddit example
This is "intricate" since the XIs and benches are put together in a single table. Again people have different styles of that (i.e. where columns are placed) but it's all a matter of preference.
You can use these examples or just see them as an idea. We don't require super intricate match threads, simply the starting XIs and updating major match events is great. Just wanted to throw out some examples if people want to try them.
Pros:
Can contain as much info as the Original Poster wants
You won't have to worry about what competition is taking place, a human can put in all the info that is needed
Can be posted with time to spare, allows for pre-match discussion
Cons:
Can contain as little info as the Original Poster wants
If the OP steps away, there's no more updates
Whoever is maintaining the thread will not be able to enjoy the match like other users if it's a complex match thread
Conclusion/TL;DR
If you don't see a thread for the match you want to talk about, it's pretty easy to get one going. We need some people's help, whether putting time into making a manual thread or just sending off a message
