@AllForUnitedWFC So disappointed, especially with Arsenal & Chelsea dropping points, it's a massive missed opportunity. Lacklustre in every area. Too much focus on PSG perhaps but can't afford to be complacent in the league like that.
@AllForUnitedWFC Proud of them for weathering that storm & giving it everything. Still need to be much more clinical so we aren't just clinging on, but a big 3 points. Will be interesting to see if we appeal that red card.
Full time.
United make it two wins from two in the champions league and that’s two clean sheets to go with it💪
A solid European away performance, playing half of the game a player down too.
Who was your POTM?

Brilliant night celebrating the 10th anniversary of @hopemilltheatre. Fell in love with it on my first visit for Parade & now can't imagine Manchester without it. Thank you to @Joseph_Houston@WilliamWhelton & all the staff over the years & here's to many more memories! 🎭♥️
Everyone at WSL Football extends its deepest sympathies to the family, friends and loved ones of Matt Beard following news of his passing.
Matt played an instrumental role in the growth of women's football and will be missed by everyone associated with the game.
Rest in peace, Matt.
Historic night at LSV, qualifying for the Champions League for the first time - what a performance. 👏⚽♥️🖤
Nice of us to let Brann make history in Norway too & hopefully win some more fans over there first... 👀😉😂
@aoifemannion_ It was great to hear you on comms Aoife, really enjoyed your insights & hope we get to hear more from you. And keep saying 'we' and 'us' as much as you want, you helped get us there after all. Once a Red and all that👊🔴
Hinata Miyazawa and Julia Zigiotti Olme in the midfield are just pure class.
The football intelligence, their reading of the game in and out of possession is elite.
We've got two gems in there, need to keep them fit for the season, going to be crucial for us.

@ConnerRoberts_ Only positives are no major outgoings & the 2 new signings improve last years squad. But feels like we've been far too slow & naive to the growth of the market. This window needs to be a massive wake up call that without proper investment we will soon be left too far behind.
It's turning into a frustrating window for #MUWomen whatever happens from here.
Feels a similar story after the great 22/23 season and the summer transfer window following it didn't continue that momentum despite a deadline day flurry, we saw a big drop the following season and that would be my concern from here.
Too many unknowns going into a season is always unsettling.
Great article. I was at the 18th June show & it doesn't surprise me sadly. Selling the 1st preview of a new musical as a 'gala extravaganza' was the first red flag & it was apparent within 5 mins it was financially unsustainable.
Hope talented cast & crew are paid what is owed!
This Hampton / Coll water bottle story.... 😂
There's clearly two bottles when Kelly takes the winning penalty (one in the towel in front of the hoardings & one by the net) so make of that what you will...😂
@AllForUnitedWFC Would've been better announced after a new signing but a big character in the dressing room & with young players, probably wise for squad harmony not to lose both Rachel & Aoife at same time?
Hopefully when she features next year it will be in the box, playing to her strengths.
@AllForUnitedWFC Expected this but still sad to see her go. Thought she always did a solid job for us at centre back & was a reliable squad player, had some massive games & a great character.
At least leading the team out via Irish dancing at the Sevens final is a great way to go!
Manchester United confirm the departure of Aoife Mannion after four years at the club.
A solid player when called upon. True professional on and off the pitch - not the mention the bucket hats👀
All the best, Aoife.
