Ian Wright slams Manchester United for 'not caring enough' about their women's team and hits out at boss Marc Skinner after 'David Brent style' interview

Wright: 'It's not good enough'

Ian Wright has slammed Manchester United for 'not caring enough' about their women's team and has hit out at boss Marc Skinner after a 'David Brent style' interview.

The former Arsenal striker was speaking after United's 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Women's FA Cup semi-final on Saturday.

It was a disappointing end to the season for United, who finished fourth in the Women's Super League and were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage.

Wright: 'Skinner's interview was embarrassing'

Wright was particularly critical of Skinner's post-match interview, in which he compared himself to David Brent, the fictional character from The Office.

"It was embarrassing," Wright said.

"He's the manager of Manchester United and he's talking about David Brent. It's not good enough."

Wright: 'United need to show more ambition'

Wright believes that United need to show more ambition if they want to challenge for trophies.

"They need to invest in the team and they need to show that they care," he said.

"They can't just keep talking about it, they need to do something about it."

Conclusion

Wright's comments come at a time when there is growing pressure on United to improve their women's team.

The club has not won a major trophy since 2013 and has been overtaken by rivals Manchester City in recent years.

It remains to be seen whether United will take Wright's comments on board and make the necessary changes to challenge for trophies.
