The Professional Footballer’s Association (PFA) are set to seek conversations with Manchester United after being informed of growing discontent regarding the management of the women’s team.
That is according to the Athletic, who state that anonymous but close sources have told them that the PFA – the trade union for players – are prepared to step in amid concerns over the environment.
It emerged earlier in the week that United’s women’s team will be moved out of their £11m training facility and into temporary portacabins in order to make way for the men’s team for the upcoming season. This is due to the £50 million investment in Carrington that has rendered the men’s facilities unusable for the next 12 months.
The club said they had considered a relocation for teams but it was ruled out for performance reasons.
The training ground facilities issue comes at the same time that several key women’s team players are leaving the club, notably captain Katie Zelem and Spanish star Lucía García. England goalkeeper Mary Earps is also expected to depart for PSG following the expiration of her contract.
This is the second time in three years that the PFA have been made aware of concerns at the club, after members of the team looked for help with improving conditions in 2021.
