United Review: United Women have memorable afternoon

Manchester United Women 5 - 0 Aston Villa Women

Manchester United Women had an afternoon to remember at Old Trafford, beating Aston Villa 5-0 in front of over 30,000 supporters - the team's record home crowd.

Marc Skinner's side took the lead just after the 10-minute mark through captain Katie Zelem, who reacted quickly to hit home a loose ball. 

The second came just before the half-hour point, with Leah Galton finishing a wonderful team move that involved excellent combination play from Ella Toone and Alessia Russo. The Reds kicked off the second 45 with yet another great team goal with Ona Batlle playing in Toone, whose ball across the box was hammered into Hannah Hampton's goal from Russo. 

A dazzling display from Batlle was then topped off with a thunderous strike that struck the crossbar and flew in. And the Spaniard was on course to give United their fifth and final goal of the game, setting up second-half substitute Rachel Williams for a tap in.

One Man United fan commented saying: "We look like the real deal this season! I hope Alessia signs soon because the summer will come quick, or we’ll lose her."

Another added: "I cannot believe how much we thrashed them by, would have been six if not for that odd refereeing call near the end. I think playing at OT must have helped. I wish they would move them there permanently instead of making them play in Leigh, where half of us cannot really get to at all."

More reaction

The United performance delighted the fans across the social media platforms. Bankzy tweeted the following in response to the United post:

Another commented: " Women football seems to more entertaining than men football nowadays."

United Review: Rashford on form as United progress

Manchester United 2 - 0 Burnley Marcus Rashford readjusted to club matters after his World Cup campaign with England as he scored a fine solo goal in Manchester United's EFL Cup win over Burnley at Old Trafford. Rashford was one of five United players on duty in Qatar to make manager Erik ten Hag's starting line-up. Christian Eriksen put the hosts ahead just before the half hour with a fine first-time finish after Aaron Wan-Bissaka has provided his first goal assist since May 2021, Rashford took centre stage 12 minutes into the second period. Given too much space as Burnley's defence backed off, Rashford started running 10 yards inside his own half and didn't stop until he had sprinted into the box, darted between Jack Cork and Jordan Beyer and driven his ninth goal of the season into the bottom corner.It was enough to earn United only their second home win inside 90 minutes in this competition in five years. United have too much for Burnley in the end Despite Burnl...
