Marc Skinner explains Man Utd "mentality shift" following derby stalemate

Marc Skinner believes there has been a "mentality shift" in his Manchester United squad this season that left them disappointed with their derby draw with Manchester City.

United took the lead in front of a crowd of 44,259 when Leah Galton and Ella Toone combined for a superb opener, Galton firing the visitors into the lead. Skinner's side were the better team for much of the contest but had to settle for a point when Laura Coombs headed home a second half equaliser, as the game finished 1-1.

The result keeps United above their local rivals in third place after a fine start to the season, only losing one WSL game so far, at home to league leaders Chelsea. Skinner admitted afterwards that he wasn't happy with only bringing a point away from the Etihad Stadium, but that this was a sign of shift in how they approach the big games.
