HOW PARK’S TRANSFER CAME AROUND
In the latest episode of our new club podcast, titled Inside Carrington, director of women’s football Matt Johnson explains how Park’s transfer from Manchester City became a possibility over the summer.
Jess made the move across town on WSL deadline day – as former United midfielder Grace Clinton went the other way – and has since been a thriving performer in Marc Skinner’s side.
Our no.8 starred again, on Wednesday, in the UEFA Champions League win over PSG at Old Trafford, playing a key role in our winning goal, bringing the ball forward from midfield with a silky piece of pass-and-move play before finding Anna Sandberg, who crossed for Fridolina Rolfo to score.
“What’s important is we understand what kind of team we want to be and, when you understand that, you can then fit what kind of profile of players will make that team more effective,” Johnson began on the Inside Carrington podcast, when asked by co-host Liam Bradford to share some insight on Park’s crosstown move.
