<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mary-earps-man-utd-womens-football-sir-jim-ratcliffe-ineos/blt43eb9b1f0e702681" target="_blank">It's been a tough week for the Red Devils</a>. It began when <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-sir-jim-ratcliffe-underperforming-womens-team-ineos/bltd5b6f04e7023f37a" target="_blank">Sir Jim Ratcliffe caused a stir by admitting there is not yet a detailed plan regarding improvements for the women's team going forward</a>, with the focus of minority owners INEOS having been on the men's team - referred to as 'the first team'.Since then, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/no-wonder-mary-earps-leaving-man-utd-women-kicked-out-training-facilities-accommodate-men-s-team/blt37d5026e884c21d7" target="_blank">news has emerged that the women's side has moved into a temporary facility to accommodate the men</a>, whose own building is being revamped. Two key senior players have also left the club, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mary-earps-man-utd-lionesses-paris-saint-germain-transfer/blt6d51f603e4355e68" target="_blank">Mary Earps</a> and Nikita Parris expected to follow Lucia Garcia and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/katie-zelem-man-utd-lionesses-lucia-garcia-mary-earps/blte0aaa932b954b99a" target="_blank">Katie Zelem</a> out of the door in the coming days.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5597313/2024/06/27/manchester-united-women-team-pfa/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a> is now reporting that the PFA is ready to seek conversations with Man Utd on behalf of its players, having learned of the 'growing discontent' when it comes to the management of the women's side. This is the second time in three years that the PFA has been alerted to concerns within the Red Devils' women's team, as players previously reached out in 2021 to try and improve conditions.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

It's not just off the pitch where there have been concerns for Man Utd. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ella-toone-man-utd-made-history-winners-losers-red-devils-first-ever-trophy-womens-fa-cup-bethany-england-tottenham/blt219d59b4ad4c9291" target="_blank">Despite an FA Cup triumph</a>, last season ended in a worst-ever Women's Super League finish of fifth, Marc Skinner's side finishing some 20 points behind eventual champions Chelsea.

DID YOU KNOW?

It seems things will get worse before the week is out, too, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mary-earps-man-utd-lionesses-paris-saint-germain-transfer/blt6d51f603e4355e68" target="_blank">Earps in line for a move to Paris Saint-Germain when her contract comes up in the next few days</a> and prolific forward Parris also set to move on.
