Manchester United applies to join WSL2

• Application submitted to FA
• New professional team would create pathway for graduates from successful girls’ regional talent club

Manchester United has submitted an application to the Football Association to establish a professional women’s team in the second tier of the Women’s Super League.

If successful, the move would provide a career pathway for players who graduate from the long-established and highly successful Girls' Regional Talent Club, which has seen some 15 of its graduates playing international football this season alone.

The squad would be based at the club's historic training centre at The Cliff.
