Man United climbed up to second in the WSL table with a comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton at Leigh Sports Village. Here is what the managers had to say on Sky Sports after the game.

Man United's Marc Skinner: "It's nice when it happens - we got exactly what we wanted. I wanted us to be more ruthless in the first half and there should have been a few more goals, but I'm really happy with the collective performance.

"Ella Toone is scoring goals and smiling. We spoke about that love for the game and that's good for Ella, good for United, and good for England.

"We want to see a smile and she's enjoying football. You can see by the way she's playing with freedom. She'll have her up days and her down days, and we'll be there for her."

Brighton's Dario Vidosic: "The first 20 minutes, we made it difficult for ourselves and gifted them two goals. We had a really good chance at the start of the second half, where Nikita [Parris] goes over the bar from two metres out, but they were levels above us tonight.

"We should do better with all three goals and that's something that's been a theme for us this week: shooting ourselves in the foot. We were disorganised without the ball and a little bit off in all areas. When we were good, we were competitive, but when you're off, you get punished.

"It's a tough week, with three tough opponents, but we've got to keep going. With a bit of consistency, some players returning, and some training sessions, we'll find our rhythm and get back to the old Brighton."
