Man United Women facing an exodus with 'FOUR first-team players ready to follow Casey Stoney and Lauren James out the door' after frustrations over the club's facilities

Manchester United's women's team 'are braced for an exodus of players this summer' in the wake of manager Casey Stoney's departure.

Frustration over poor training facilities at United's Carrington base led Stoney to quit her role as well as a failure to qualify for next season's Champions League.

The women's team made a temporary switch to the men's Aon Training Complex at the start of the year but players were unable to shower between training sessions and meals.
