When Manchester United rebuilds the men's team's training facility for over half a billion kronor, the women's team has to move out.

The women's team will instead hold training in barracks.

You get shocked, says Swedish Tottenham player Matilda Vinberg.

The work on rebuilding the men's team's training facility Carrington is expected to last the entire next season, and during that time, the women's team, which plays in England's top league, will be housed in temporary barracks.

Instead, Victor Nilsson Lindelöf and his teammates in Manchester United's men's team will move into the women's facilities.

It's sad when you read about it, I'm not surprised, though, says Swedish national team midfielder Filippa Angeldahl, who recently left United's city rival Manchester City for Spanish Real Madrid.

Tottenham player Matilda Vinberg was shocked over the news.

You get surprised that it happens, especially in England, a country that has been ahead in the development of these issues, she says and continues:

It's one of the biggest clubs you know of in England and it's completely unbelievable that it should be like that. They are even bigger than Tottenham and Tottenham has it better.
