Marc Skinner's side were narrowly beaten to the Women's Super League title by Emma Hayes' Chelsea last term and enter the new campaign with confidence, after registering our highest final position so far in the team's five-year existence.
The Reds will be keen to have another fruitful year of development and growth, and our supporters have been eagerly awaiting the release of the WSL fixtures for the new term.
It has now been confirmed that United will raise the curtain on the forthcoming season away to Aston Villa at Villa Park on Sunday 1 October (12:30 BST).
