United visit PSG with score at 1-1 after first leg of playoffGeorge told teammates to ‘win in Paris’ after she tore ACL
Manchester United are targeting a historic Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain for their stricken defender Gabby George. The summer signing from Everton tore an anterior cruciate ligament in a knee for the second time in her career during Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Leicester in the Women’s Super League and is set to undergo surgery.
It was a bad start to a huge week for United, who are looking to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League in their first foray into European football. Manager Marc Skinner said of George: “It’s obviously devastating news for her, but what I know about this club is we’ll put the player at the centre of the medical attention she needs. She’ll be loved, she’ll have people around her, we’ll make sure she rehabs and comes back stronger.
