Manchester City captain Alex Greenwood says she and her teammates were “shocked” by the club’s decision to sack long-time manager Gareth Taylor.

A statement posted by the club on Monday said Taylor’s side had failed to reach the high standard set for them. He leaves the squad sitting fourth in the Women’s Super League, 12 points adrift of league leaders Chelsea.
