The Professional Footballers’ Association are ready to seek conversations with Manchester United after being made aware of growing discontent regarding the club’s management of their women’s team.
It emerged earlier this week that the club’s women’s team will be moved out of the £11million training facility that had been specifically constructed for the women’s outfit and academy in order to make way for the club’s men’s first-team during the 2024-25 season.
United have announced a £50m infrastructure project to revamp the training facilities at Carrington for the men’s first team but the building work will mean that the existing men’s facilities are not accessible during the coming season.
As such, the club has decided to prioritise the men’s team by moving Erik ten Hag’s side into the women’s building. The women’s team will instead use temporary portacabins.
This is the second time in three years that the PFA have been made aware of concerns by United’s women’s team, after members of the team previously approached the PFA for support in trying to improve conditions at the club in 2021.
