![]() This is why qualifying to the top clubs competition needs to become norm and manager Marc Skinner has already made it clear what his targets in the market are and he said they are a centre-back, a central midfielder, a number ten, a wide forward and a striker, so, as you can see, there isn’t any sign of a new fullback, which seems to indicate that the Spaniard is staying put, at least for the moment. And if United want to challenge the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea for the highest honours, then selling your best talents is a very counterproductive policy.īatlle wants to play in the Champions League and while United have chances to qualify this season, that is always going to be a given for her at Barcelona. There is an underlying fear among supporters that keeping her another year could lead to her leaving on a free, but the reality is that the best teams can and should retain their best players and adding more quality. ![]() While a sale might prove financially profitable for United, you are not going to find a better full-back than Batlle in the current market and the club has been on a somewhat upward trajectory since its foundation in 2018, so selling one of your best players and one with so much room for improvement (she’s only 22 years old) would prove to be a step back. There were reports that her contract was ending by the end of this season, but manager Marc Skinner (as per 90Min) has all but confirmed that the club has a one year extension that they can activate, so, if it comes to that, Batlle is not leaving for free this summer and she can leave a healthy profit as she was the player whose market value increased the most this season in the Women’s Super League, according to reports. The question is: What should Man United do with Ona Batlle? □ FC Barcelona have shown strong interest in Ona Batlle.īarcelona are currently the favourites to sign her and beyond their absolute domination both locally and internationally, there are other factors that put them in the pole position to get Batlle: she played in their youth system and was born in Catalonia, so there is an obvious connection there and Ona, now a massively capable player after years of playing at senior level, could provide even more quality to what is basically a super team at the moment and return to her country.īut, of course, we’re United supporters, so we want what’s best for the club. ![]() And it’s not only Chelsea that have shown an interest in recent weeks but also the current European champions, FC Barcelona, according to the always reliable journalist Emma Sanders. So, it is not surprising that stronger teams have come calling to United’s door to get the services of the Spaniard sensation. To put it simply, Batlle is the total package and at this point in time she could be viewed as the best fullback in the Women’s Super League. The Spanish full-back arrived from a team of her native country, Levante, in 2019 and she has quickly become a fan favourite due to her technique, versatility to play both on the left and the right and overall being a very complete fullback that makes Marc Skinner’s team better in every aspect of the game. And if you haven’t, well, Ona Batlle has been amazing for the Red Devils this season. If you have been following Manchester United’s Women Team, then you know how amazing Ona Batlle has been for the Red Devils this season.
