The cup clash with Reading on Saturday was watched by almost 5,000 supporters, and there is already a feel-good factor between players and fans
The sun beat down as the players mingled with fans at the front of the stands. Around 1,000 of the 4,835 crowd had stayed back and were being rewarded with autographs and photos with their new heroes, who hung around for a good 30 minutes to spend time with the supporters
It is fair to say that Manchester United Women’s first home game had been a huge success.
That they lost on the field was secondary on a day like this one.
