What the coach has to say
Head coach Brian Sørensen spoke to the press ahead of the game:
On Manchester United: “United are the best we have seen in the last couple of years since I have been here. We are going to go in and enjoy it in a big stadium. From what I hear, it is a big crowd, we are all excited for it!”
“We are still working on details of the game and we have started the youngest XI in the league. We play with good, young talents and it is about learning every day. I am positive about the future. The future looks bright.
“Hopefully, they [fans] will come back to Goodison to watch us play. Our plan is to put on a good show and make it an exciting game. We are realistic and we know it is going to be a tough game, but we will give everything.”
Team News Manchester United
Latest team news update from Marc Skinner: “It’s the first day back in, we gave them the day off yesterday as it was a late-night game. I believe we’re checking in on Celin and that only then leaves Millie. Leah trains today and tomorrow, with a view to being in the squad for Sunday.
“Everybody else came through without any injuries. We’re just checking on Celin, Millie is obviously out but everyone else should potentially be available.”
What the coach has to say
Marc Skinner on facing Everton: “There is always pressure when you go to a home game. If we can balance that pressure for them as well and understand that, we can play well and it will be tough, hopefully, for them.
“I’ve never played at Goodison either, a historic ground too, so potentially next year. From my perspective, it’d be good to put on a show for the fans in what is meant to be an incredible stadium. I’m looking forward to playing there, I know the players are too, but only if we put on a performance and win as well.
“There are all different main factors, whether the crowd noise echoes around, the different acoustics in the ground, but we strip it right back to the pitch and 11 players and our team to remove those psychological situations and then you can play football.”
