United Women in Germany: Day Four
Thursday was a much slower-paced schedule for Manchester United Women on day four of our Germany pre-season training camp.
After the narrow 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich the day before, it was time for recovery and recuperation, as well as a chance for the team to get off campus and have some fun in the bowling alleys.

After Wednesday’s friendly against Bayern, it was a recovery day for our Reds in Herzo. The morning was spent doing recovery sessions, which included getting time in the pool before lunch.
The players who were not involved in Wednesday's game cycled over to the pitch to have a light training workout in the glorious sunshine, which Germany has been offering us this week.
LINKING UP WITH ADIDAS
In the afternoon, the players did an appearance where we captured imagery and video for our official kit supplier, adidas, utilising the beautiful surroundings of their Herzo headquarters.
Whilst here, the club also took part in discussion sessions with the players on apparel, boots and gloves.
The evening was spent with a team trip to a local bowling alley. The players had great fun not only bowling, but on the pool tables and playing darts too.
Jayde Riviere turned out to be the star of the evening and was even nicknamed ‘the bowling queen’ after she managed to knock both pins down on a split shot.
It was a great chance for the team to be able to have some downtime together for the first time as a full squad, ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
