Glossop North End vs Radcliffe - Friendlies Clubs

A fascinating Friendlies Clubs chapter awaits on July 4, 2026 when Glossop North End take on Radcliffe at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Josh Allen had an impressive first game at the Buffalo Bills’ new stadium in their second NFL fixture of the season.

Both Glossop North End and Radcliffe will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Friendlies Clubs. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. Radcliffe's away form is hard to read, but they will arrive with the belief that they can trouble their hosts. Skinner had another year to run on his contract but has decided to move on a month out from United beginning their Women’s Super League season at London City Lionesses on September 4.

The tactical subplot is compelling: Glossop North End favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Radcliffe are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies. Moving the Dane on frees up space and gives the Partenopei greater room to press ahead with their incoming transfer plans.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. Another player reportedly of interest is Everton forward Iliman N'Diaye, while United, according to reports from France, have also made contact with Paris Saint-Germain over Ibrahim Mbaye.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 1-1 draw is easy to envisage. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Friendlies Clubs standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
