Manchester United were the team that, for 13 years, didn’t care about women’s football. The team that had been part of the club was disbanded when the Glazers tookover in 2005 and it took until 2018 for that decision to be reversed.
But that is in the past and United cannot be accused of not caring anymore. A crowd of 20,241 watched on as Marc Skinner’s side played their first game at Old Trafford in front of fans. A brace from Alessia Russo and a Katie Zelem penalty cancelled out Claire Emslie’s opener to give the Red Devils a 3-1 victory.
