Jayde Riviere targets WSL title contention for Manchester United

Manchester United defender Jayde Riviere stated the club aims to move beyond a fourth-place league finish as they prepare for the new Women’s Super League season. The team opens their campaign against London City Lionesses this Friday. After failing to qualify for European competition this season, the squad intends to improve its consistency and challenge for silverware. Riviere, who joined the club in January 2023, is nearing 100 appearances despite dealing with various injuries throughout her career. She noted that lessons from the previous season, including the League Cup final loss to Chelsea, remain a primary motivation. The defender expressed a personal goal to adopt a more attacking role while mentoring the team’s younger players throughout the upcoming schedule.
