Manchester United’s lead coach Marc Skinner praised goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce as he continues to enjoy a rich shape.
The American has been a formidable force for United This season, granting only six goals in 14 games en route to keep nine clean sheets in the Super League Women (WSL).
“I have been lucky to work with some incredible goalkeepers, but for me it has agility and athletics that I do not think many can coincide,” Skinner said in his last press conference.
The strong defensive structure of the United has impressed this season, with the four subsequent ones that offer constantly high performances in recent weeks. The main coach praised Tullis-Joyce’s ability to give a sense of comfort to those in front of them.
“I think it is dominant,” the main coach continued. “I think it gets older at the times we need it, which is probably two or three times a game. It gives confidence to all the defenders behind it. The most important thing is a student of the game. He is constantly trying to improve and has a great attitude.
“It’s the reason we took her to Manchester United, because we saw this talent. I am incredibly proud of her because she has gone through some difficult times to get where she is and now we see her only improves.
“He has many qualities and, statistically, I think he will act to be the best goalkeeper. We are in a game of opinions, but my opinion was fixed with these statistics is that he is an incredible goalkeeper and someone I think can be the best in the world.”
Despite its recent form, Tullis-Joyce was not selected as part of the U.S. Women’s Selection list For the Squadies Cup campaign. Emma Hayes chose to select Jane Campbell (Houston Dash) and Mandy McGlynn (Utay Royals) on the United States goalkeeper. Tullis-Joyce still traveled home in the United States to join the squad as a training player.

The 21 -year -old girl was tested against the best, arriving from the head with Ballon de O. or winner Aitana Bonmati a The brave victory of England over Spain.
In the absence of Georgia Stanway, Sarina Wiegman chose to deploy Clinton in position number eight. United Starlet reached the challenge strongly, showing its potential in a deeper role in the midfield.
“Grace is definitely becoming 8 papers, this is the process of advanced thought for her,” Skinner shared. “I and she we have agreed, and I know Sarina also feel the same. I really liked her mature performance.
“ England was in a block for a little game, which then offers space to cover positions.The grace is excellent in these, it still wants to develop the box for the box, because I think it has all these qualities to give them. It is about looking at where the grace is and to try to put it in the team in the best space to give us the possibility of winning, because it is a fantastic player. ”
