Aston Villa's women's team took on Manchester United in their Castore home kit despite a week of controversy over the wet-look shirts.
"It was highlighted early in the pe-season on the men’s side and backed up by the women's. As far as I’m concerned it’s over to the club and Castore to deal with."Certainly my focus has to be the weekend. My focus is making sure the players are focused on the weekend.
Unai Emery's men's team wore the kit during the club's 2-1 defeat to Everton in the Carabao Cup and 6-1 victory over Brighton on Saturday. Meanwhile, Ward's players have worn the strip for five of their six pre-season friendlies, ahead of the United game.A Castore spokesperson said: “There has been some media speculation about a potential issue in the football kit supplied by Castore to Aston Villa Football Club. We are working closely in collaboration with the club to address this issue as quickly as possible to meet the standards we expect. We would like to thank the club for their patience and support to date.
“As a proud new British brand, we always hold ourselves to the highest of standards and strive to do everything we can to constantly improve the performance of our products. This means addressing any customer concerns with promptness and humility.”
