The derby marks the fifth WSL game played by United\u2019s women at Old Trafford and is on pace to crush the team\u2019s previous attendance record of 30,196 for Aston Villa\u2019s visit to Old Trafford in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur players are used to big occasions, and they thrive in those environments. The bigger we make these moments, the more the players grow,\u201d United manager Marc Skinner said. \u201cThe women\u2019s game has continued to develop, and fans are attending games to witness competitive performances from their favourite players.\u201d<\/p>\n

United, which beat City 2-1 last season at Leigh Sports Village, began the weekend third in the WSL standings, while City is sixth. <\/p>\n
