    Manchester United

    Man United boss Marc Skinner speaking to BBC Three:

    On introducing Millie Turner to the game: "Millie is super in the air, and Aoife [Mannion] was getting a bit tired. Millie has been a huge part of this team this season and she gives an assuredness at the back.

    We wanted to make sure that we maintained the attack, but then for her to come up and do that... She did it against Arsenal and she's done it again tonight. She has that wonderful ability and that's why she's so important to us.

    On keeping the faith: " I always keep the faith. I have faith in these players, the staff, in what the club are trying to build. We are showing that in performances, whether that means it's not pretty the whole game, but this stage of the season you have to find a way to win."

    Manchester United

    Man United boss Marc Skinner speaking to BBC Three: "I don't think my heart can take any more of that! Look, first half we were not good enough.

    We didn't raise the intensity and Villa were all over us. We played into their hands, we tried to play a style of football rather than the game itself.

    Second half we addressed that, Villa were excellent [again], but with this team we find a way, and we found a way again tonight.

    On his half time message to the team: "It was quite impassioned really. Just that we tried to play and build but Villa were on the front foot pressing with loads of space in behind, and sometimes you've got to play the game that's in front of you.

    "We didn't do that. We weren't at the races, we were two yards off, they were winning every first and second ball. So tactics went out the window and it was more about desire and fight. I asked them for it second half and you saw it straight away, exactly what we can do."

    FT: Aston Villa 2-3 Man Utd

    Aston Villa's Rachel Daly, who scored two goals for Aston Villa: "To lose at the death is the worst kind but we gave everything tonight.

    "The girls put in a good shift, but that is why they are top of the league, they punished us at the death. It is a tough pill to swallow.

    "I'm gutted, that is football. It is fine margins. They are the 1%s we didn't finish off and they did. I will watch the one that hit the bar 300 times and watch my goals probably once.

    "Just playing for this team is a proud moment. I wouldn't have scored half the goals without the girls' deliveries."

    Manchester United's Millie Turner, speaking about her dramatic winner to BBC Sport: "Honestly, everything just went in slow motion. When it hit the back of the net I didn’t even see it!

    "I had to celebrate with the fans, they’ve been incredible all season. I’m just buzzing to get the three points for the team.

    "It was unbelievable. Honestly, words can’t explain that feeling for what we've just done there. It is such a big team for us.

    "We didn't want to fall into the traps they wanted us to do so we tried to go more direct and get in behind them more.

    "Ever since the Arsenal game at the Emirates we have had a switch in mentality. We know we can win games and that we can win every game. We came out here thinking we could win the game and we did.

    "We just need to stay calm and take every game as it comes. We try to put in good performances and see where it can take us."

    Hope Powell
    Former England and Brighton manager on BBC Three

    Credit to Manchester United, but I must say I feel for Aston Villa and Carla Ward.

    I thought it was a really well executed game plan. I think they were unlucky not to come away with something, at least a point.

    But credit to Manchester United and Millie Turner, not many touches, but produces a great header and a great goal.

  9. 'Sickening'published at 21:22 BST 28 April 2023

    FT: Aston Villa 2-3 Man Utd

    Aston Villa manager Carla Ward: "I feel like we deserved something from the game. I am not going to comment on that last little bit, horribly disappointed by that I am not going to lie.

    "We had a couple of opportunities where we hit the bar, we did tremendously well. Credit to Manchester United, they are top of the league for a reason, but it is sickening.

    "We are disappointed tonight because we are going home with nothing when we should as a bare minimum have taken a point."

    I think there was a lot of drama in the game.

    Manchester United were on the back foot for most of the game and if Villa had taken more chances they would have won the game.

    What we saw from this Manchester United team tonight is that their mentality has changed from the last few seasons. Hence why they were able to go on and get a really late winner.

    In other seasons you would not have seen this from Manchester United.

    Ella Toone had her head in her hands as she came off, but it was Millie Turner who came on and ended up the matchwinner.

    What an impact.

    It was nailbiting, there was great quality, nothing that either keeper could do about any of the goals tonight.

    What a night for Man United and their big contigent of travelling fans!

    Wow.

    What a ball from Katie Zelem, an outswinger.

    Manchester born and bred, Millie Turner, comes up with a huge header.

    Carla Ward and Villa will feel hard done by, but Millie Turner certainly enjoyed that one!
