FORMER Manchester United midfielder Irene Guerrero has opened up on her time with the club, saying there were days where she “had to go into the bathroom to cry” during training.

The 27-year-old joined United in September 2023, having been part of the Spain squad that won that summer’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

The season that followed, disrupted early on by a knee injury, saw the ex-Atletico Madrid player make only seven appearances in all competitions for Marc Skinner’s side, starting just once, and she subsequently left to sign for Mexican team America in July.
