Manchester United Women Visit Liverpool on Sunday After Matt Beard’s Death

Marc Skinner urges a respectful performance to honor Beard’s legacy.

Overview

  • Kick-off is noon BST on Sunday at the Totally Wicked Stadium in St Helens, with Liverpool set to mark Matt Beard’s legacy before their first league game since his death.
  • United travel with a near-full squad, as Simi Awujo, Millie Turner and Leah Galton are out but there are no new injuries.
  • Skinner says the occasion will be highly charged and that the best tribute is to deliver a strong display and try to win.
  • He cautions that Liverpool emphasize possession under Gaz Taylor and could generate spells of pressure despite two early WSL defeats.
  • United arrive with seven points from nine and a recent 0-0 at Arsenal, with Skinner highlighting goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce for saves few others make.
