By Jamie Spencer Manchester United manager Marc Skinner said that he has achieved what he originally set out to do with the club when he first arrived by winning the Women's FA Cup for the fans. United got their hands on afirst major trophy in a landmark moment at Wembley by putting four goals past Tottenham Hotspur in a less than 20-minute spell straddling half-time. Since reforming a women's first-team in 2018, expectations of success have been high at a club that has commanded a loyal fanbase since day one. Nearly 5,000 supporters turned out for the first ever home game six years ago and We...

By Jamie Spencer Manchester United captain Katie Zelem said that lifting the Women's FA Cup at Wembley on Sunday was more than she "dreamed of" upon re-signing for her childhood club six years ago. Oldham-born Zelem was part of United's youth setup for the best part of a decade growing up but had to move on in order to start a senior career at a time when the club didn't operate a first-team squad. That all changed in 2018, with Zelem one of the original recruits after leaving behind Champions League football with Juventus. She then inherited the captaincy in 2019. "To be captain of this club ...

By Hannah Pinnock Tottenham Hotspur boss Robert Vilahamn believes his players will take plenty of lessons from their Women's FA Cup final defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. Both teams were on the brink of history at Wembley Stadium, but it was United’s day just 12 months on from their own FA Cup heartbreak against Chelsea. Goals from Ella Toone, Lucia Garcia and Rachel Williams made it an afternoon to remember for United and one to forget for the Lilywhites. Spurs were always underdogs heading into the showpiece, not least because United are a team they are yet to beat. However, it’s been ...

By Hannah Pinnock After being on the losing end of a Women's FA Cup final 12 months ago, Manchester United were determined to not suffer the same fate again. Against a side that have never beaten them before in Tottenham Hotspur, the odds were heavily in the Red Devils’ favour heading into Sunday’s showdown at Wembley Stadium. However, after a 2-2 draw in the Women’s Super League only a couple of weeks ago, Spurs had every right to believe they could cause an upset on the day. United, though, showed their class and professionalism. Ella Toone, Rachel Williams and Lucia Garcia fired Marc Skinne...

By Jamie Spencer FROM WEMBLEY STADIUM - For Manchester United, feelings of ecstasy and jubilation took over as the final whistle sounded at the home of English football on the hottest dat of the year so far. The FA Cup trophy was theirs, a first piece of major silverware for a club who finally took the plunge in professional women’s football as recently as six years ago. Ella Toone, whose superstar status off the pitch is growing and growing after recently launching - in addition to her YouTube channel - a new BBC podcast with best friend and former teammate Alessia Russo, further underlined h...

By Hannah Pinnock Both Manchester United and Tottenham are two teams that have risen in prominence in the women’s game over recent years following their promotion to the WSL in 2019. Now, one will be crowned winners of the FA Cup for the first time when they battle it out at Wembley in the final of the competition on Sunday. While the Manchester club have arguably enjoyed a far smoother ride in the top flight, Spurs have had an impressive campaign under manager Robert Vilahamn following his arrival last summer. Despite facing each other on 12 occasions across all competitions, if Spurs are to ...

By Hannah Pinnock There will be a new winner of the Women’s FA Cup final on Sunday afternoon when Manchester United take on Tottenham at Wembley Stadium. Marc Skinner’s side have been here before, but they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Chelsea in last year’s showpiece. For Tottenham, this is entirely new territory as they contend their first ever final in the competition. United had a tough run to the final as they fought against WSL opposition in two of their three games in earlier rounds. That included current holders and five-time winners Chelsea at the semi-final stage. Spurs, on the other h...

By Jamie Spencer At Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur will lift the Women's FA Cup for the first time. Whoever wins, one team will make history for themselves. But this final also means a lot for the competitive status of the wider women's game in England. The FA Cup trophy has been exclusively the domain of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City for more than a decade. The last club outside the WSL's established 'big three' to get their hands on it was Birmingham in 2012, beating a pre-Emma Hayes Chelsea on penalties. Prior to the that Arsenal appeared ...

By Hannah Pinnock Tottenham manager Robert Vilahamn has outlined one key trait his side possesses that he hopes will serve them well in this Sunday’s FA Cup final at Wembley. Spurs take on last season's finalists, Manchester United, with this year’s showpiece event guaranteed to produce a new winner for the first time since Manchester City clinched their first FA Cup triumph in 2017. United will be hungry for the victory after they were edged 1-0 by Chelsea 12 months ago, whereas Spurs will be desperate to end the club’s 16-year wait for a major honour. Vilahamn has taken the Lilywhites on qui...

By Jamie Spencer The kind of consistency that underpinned Manchester United's fight for trophies on two fronts last season – in the WSL and Women’s FA Cup – hasn't been there in 2023/24. United have had some big highs this season, including thrashing Everton, West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur in the first half of the campaign. None more so than a long-awaited first victory over Chelsea in the last four of the cup, the only domestic opponent they had never beaten. But home and away defeats to Liverpool, dropping points they weren't doing last season against the likes of Tottenham at home, W...
