MELVINE MALARD: 3 (2) appearances | 3 goals

It is easy to see why Malard has quickly become a fan favourite at United since joining on loan from Lyon at the end of the summer transfer window.

The French forward made her Reds bow in the home draw with Arsenal and came off the bench to make an immediate mark at Leigh Sports Village, scoring what would have been the winner on the night, if not for the Gunners’ stoppage-time leveller. Melvine was back at it again just four days later on the same turf, nodding in our equaliser at home to PSG as a second-half substitute.

Those successful cameos earned the no.9 a place in the starting XI for the month’s final three matches, versus Leicester, PSG (away) and Everton, and she took her goal tally to three in the final one, heading home our opener in the 5-0 win over the Toffees.
