“Weekend Highlights: Clinton Shines for Manchester United, Roord’s Comeback, and Chelsea’s Defensive Concerns”

**Women’s Super League: Key Highlights from the Weekend's Matches** Grace Clinton shines for Manchester United, Roord makes a promising comeback after 249 days, and Chelsea must improve their defensive solidity. Grace Clinton's return to Everton proved to be a triumphant one as she netted her second goal in as many games for Manchester United. The 21-year-old midfielder from Merseyside has quickly become a vital part of Marc Skinner's strategy. Beyond her goal-scoring ability, Clinton showcased impressive strength and physicality, contributing significantly to United's midfield dynamics. Skinner praised her off-the-ball efforts, stating, “You always get the glory when you go down as the goalscorer, but I thought her pressing was really good today. She’s in a good space, but I’ve got to keep pushing her – that’s my job.” After spending last season on loan at Tottenham to hone her defensive skills, Skinner expressed confidence in her development, saying, “I always knew we were bringing her home. I gave her the No 8 shirt for a reason. We wanted her to go to Tottenham and learn the defensive side. That’s what she did.” As the season progresses, Clinton's impact on the team is becoming increasingly evident, and her growth will be crucial for United's ambitions.
