A goal in both halves did the damage, with Melvine Malard opening the scoring in the ninth minute, on her first start of the new season.
Rachel Williams, also in the XI for the first time this term, doubled our advantage after the interval, as United took three points from our Group A opener at Leigh Sports Village.
FIRST HALF - MALARD NETS BEFORE WITHDRAWAL
Williams was close to connecting with early crosses into the box from Celin Bizet and Gabby George, but United's first major chance came via a ball in behind the defence from Hinata Miyazawa.
