Manchester United has announced plans to make some changes to their training ground in order to improve the facilities for their men's squad. This means that the women's team will need to be relocated to make room for the renovations.
The club has decided to move the women's team into portable buildings on the training ground while the work is being done. This will allow the men's team to continue training without any interruptions. The refurbishment is expected to take the entire next season to complete, so it was important for the club to find a suitable solution for the women's team in the meantime.
According to reports, the decision to move the women's team has caused some disappointment among players and staff. It has also raised concerns about the level of importance given to the women's team within the club. However, it should be noted that Manchester United did invest £10 million in a state-of-the-art building for the women's and academy teams last year.
The temporary buildings that will house the women's team will include all the necessary facilities such as changing rooms, team meeting areas, and communal spaces. The club considered various options for relocating the team, but ultimately decided that remaining at Carrington was the best choice. This way, the players will still have access to top-quality pitches and other off-field amenities.
While the focus of the club's recent investments has been on improving the men's team, there are plans to also make improvements to the women's team in the future. However, for now, the priority is to resolve any issues with the men's team and get them back on track after a disappointing season. This has been the main focus of co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe since his partial takeover in February.
Last season, the women's team achieved great success by winning the FA Cup and finishing fifth in the Women's Super League. However, they are now facing the potential loss of goalkeeper Mary Earps, who is reportedly close to joining Paris Saint-Germain and becoming the highest-paid female goalkeeper in the world.
Despite this, Manchester United remains committed to the development and success of their women's team. Fans can expect to see continued investments and improvements in the future, in addition to the ongoing efforts to strengthen the men's team.
