Casey has done an interview with RTE https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/201...man-united-dont-do-anything-by-half-measures/
She's in Ireland at a conference promoting women's sport.
On getting offered the job (incidentally she says there was a lot of competition for the manager's job): "The biggest thing they said to me is ‘we want you to feel a part of the club and not apart from the club’."
On United choosing to apply for a Championship licence instead of a WSL1 one:
"We’ve gone in that league so we can get the processes right, the structure right. Also, to give the players a chance to bed in out of the limelight a little bit. Manchester United is a massive club. To give me a chance to get things right, and make mistakes. We’re going to make mistakes, it’s our first year."
She talks a bit about the Leigh stadium (and it's less than ideal location for Manchester) and hoping to eventually build the crowd to fill it, but she also talks about "tentative plans" for a game at OT.
"We will have a game on it this season I believe, which would be good. It will be interesting to see what kind of crowd we can draw if we do well at the end of the season. It’s in discussions at the moment."
