The scheduling of the Women’s Champions League semi-finals is “strange” and “needs to be looked at”, says Manchester United manager Marc Skinner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Women’s Super League leaders United were set to play Arsenal in a crucial title clash on 22 April, but that fixture will have to be moved.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Arsenal’s <\/span>win over Bayern Munich<\/span><\/a> means they face Paris St-Germain or Wolfsburg on 22 April in Europe’s last four.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m sure there’s space for it to be put somewhere else,” said Skinner.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m hopeful our fans will still come as they travel ridiculous amounts and are ever-present.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Following last night’s memorable 2-0 victory at Emirates Stadium, Skinner added: “The reality is we have to do all we can to get fans through the door as we know how important they are to us. <\/span><\/p>\n

“We have the whole season to adapt and evolve. Now we’re adapting our league schedule when it does affect the fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If we want our league to be an exciting run-in and we want consistency, then I do find it strange. I’m sure Arsenal do as well. They have to do a mid-week game away. It should be looked at.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Matches in the group stages of the Women’s Champions League are played on a weekday, but the semi-finals are set for the weekend of 22 and 23 April, while the final is played on Saturday 3 June.<\/span><\/p>\n

WSL leaders United are currently three points above fourth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand on their rivals.<\/span><\/p>\n
