Marc Skinner praises 'game-changing' Rachel Williams
Manchester United boss Marc Skinner sung the praises of veteran striker Rachel Williams during his recent appearance on the UTD Podcast, following the conclusion of our 2022/23 campaign.
Throughout the season, the Reds displayed a never-say-die spirit and came up with multiple late goals at the death to turn the tide in our favour.
One player integral to such moments was summer signing Rachel, with two memorable strikes against Reading in the league and Brighton in the FA Cup semi-final, in particular.
“It’s just a mentality,” Skinner said, during the latest episode of our official club podcast. “All it is, is we’re not going to give up.
Marc’s views on ‘Skinner time’
Marc Skinner says teams should be scared of our capability to score goals in the closing stages of games…
“If you see that girl, not only would you want to be her friend every day you’d want to run through a wall with her.”
“Rachel is somebody that our fans should get right behind,” he continues.
“She was a plaster for three or four years, yet has the ability that she has to come and change games for us the way she does."
