By Jamie Spencer A week is a long time in football, and Manchester United went from the highs of lifting the Women's FA Cup at Wembley to then suffering their biggest ever defeat as Chelsea secured the WSL title at Old Trafford in the space of just six days. The 2023/24 campaign has been tough to quantify for United. The search for major silverware had eluded them until their day in the (literal) sun last weekend, when a 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur delivered that sweet first taste of success at this level. Winning a trophy like that is what has driven the club since day one in 2018. But...

By Jamie Spencer Chelsea romped to a fifth straight WSL title in style in Emma Hayes’ last game before leaving English football to imminently take over as the new USWNT coach. The Blues put six goals past a Manchester United side who many would have expected to compete a lot better off the back of last weekend’s FA Cup success, having also beaten Hayes’ team little over a month ago en-route to that success. But there was pretty much only one team in this game from the very start as Mayra Ramirez bullied her way to two goals and two assists in the first half alone. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and S...

By Hannah Pinnock Manchester United Women boss Marc Skinner has ended speculation over his future by signing a one-year contract extension with the option of a further year. The news comes less than a week after the 41-year-old guided the club to their first piece of major silverware in the women's game - United cruised to a 4-0 win over Tottenham in the FA Cup final to become history makers. Skinner initially made the move to Manchester in 2021 and guided them to a fourth-placed finish in the Women's Super League in his first season. Last term, they went a step further and took the title race...

By Jamie Spencer Manchester United manager Marc Skinner is expecting Grace Clinton, Hinata Miyazawa and Irene Guerrero to all have big roles at the club next season and beyond. Clinton has been one of this season's WSL success stories, spending it on loan at a resurgent Tottenham Hotspur, helping the club reach the Women's FA Cup final for the first time and playing her way into the senior England squad on a regular basis. Unsurprisingly, there is a belief that Spurs want to keep the 21-year-old, who was ineligible to face her parent club at Wembley last weekend, on a permanent transfer and in...

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 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 Jude Summerfield Manchester United won the Women's FA Cup for the first time ever as they eased to a 4-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon. A quiet first half sparked into life when Ella Toone finished off a flowing counter attack with a brilliant curling strike just before the break. Two goals in four second-half minutes made sure of the result as Rachel Williams climbed highest to head in Katie Zelem's free-kick to make it 2-0 before a disastrous mistake from Becky Spencer handed Lucia Garcia a tap-in. Spurs' capitulation then allowed the Spaniard to grab a...

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 ...
