Filmed at the Jubail Mangrove Park, O’Neill reflects on City’s time in Abu Dhabi and some of the incredible experiences the squad have been lucky enough to sample over the past week.

Our new signing, Rebecca Knaak, is also discussed, with our Managing Director delighted by her rapid transition to life at the Blues so far.

Further recruitment is also discussed, with O’Neill confirming at least one more new signing is expected in the current transfer window, and the massive impact that Sporting Director Therese Sjogran has had so far.

But securing the future of our current stars is also pivotal, with reflections on Kerstin Casparij’s new deal and potential extra extensions also addressed.

Finally, O’Neill reflects on City’s season so far and our success in the UEFA Women’s Champions League, with qualification for the knockout stages a primary objective at the start of the campaign.

However, the work is far from over, with the Blues returning for the second half of 2024/25 fighting on four separate fronts in the Barclays Women’s Super League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Our Managing Director talks about the squad’s appetite for silverware and how a positive result in the Manchester Derby, taking place on Sunday 19 January, could help our pursuit of trophies.
