How Man Utd Women in the England Lionesses World Cup squad can inspire the next generation of young players

Following the Euros success last year, when Earps was England’s goalkeeper and Toone scored the first goal in the final as the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 at a packed-out Wembley, records have continued to be broken.

In December 2022, when United defeated Aston Villa 5-0 at Old Trafford, an incredible 30,196 supporters were in the stands – a home record crowd for our women’s team.

We also established the highest attendance for our games at Leigh Sports Village when 7,854 watched the Manchester derby, as well as playing in the FA Cup final in front of 77,390 fans.

In 2023/24, we are looking to beat that Old Trafford record in November, when our home Manchester derby in the WSL will be staged.
