THE STORY BEHIND PARK’S TRANSFER
In the latest episode of our new club podcast, Inside Carrington, Matt Johnson, the director of women’s football, reveals how Park’s move from Manchester City became a reality over the summer.
Jess made her transfer across town on WSL deadline day, with former United midfielder Grace Clinton heading in the opposite direction. Since joining, she has flourished in Marc Skinner’s team.
On Wednesday, our number 8 impressed once again during the UEFA Champions League victory against PSG at Old Trafford. She played a crucial role in our winning goal, skillfully advancing the ball from midfield and executing a beautiful pass-and-move sequence before setting up Anna Sandberg, who delivered a perfect cross for Fridolina Rolfo to score.
“It’s crucial for us to define the type of team we aspire to be, and once we have that clarity, we can identify which player profiles will enhance our effectiveness,” Johnson said on the Inside Carrington podcast when co-host Liam Bradford asked about Park’s transition from City.
